Here's an article about eating local vs. eating organic. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1595245,00.htmlThe same problem is discussed extensively in Omnivore's Dilemma.
In the article, there's a link to a search for small farms and Community Supported Agriculture (csa) programs. You can pay a certain amount per month and receive seasonal produce from a local farm. I know people that participate in it (on the consumer side, sadly not the farmer side). Coo.

There's an article about getting fish in St. Louis restaurants in Sauce magazine. Apparently there is a debate about freezing fish or not freezing fish. Sauce is super cool, you should check it out. It has very yummy looking recipes and articles about local food businesses.
