Local Resource List

[Crispini]

Hi all,
So, since it looks to me like we can update our posts indefinitely, I hereby volunteer to maintain and update the categories of stuff from Dick's permie list on a Dallas basis; this version ONLY includes local resources.  (Some of which is already elsewhere on this board). I will cut and paste the de-Austinzed version (skeleton of stuff that is mostly local, not the online stuff) here and as everyone comes up with links or information you can just reply to this thread and I will edit it into this post so it will stay updated.

CSA in McKinney

[Phil from Krum]

There are usually several chicken vendors at the McKinney Trade Days. They are mostly of producing age. There's usually some ducks, etc. too.

Krum Feed has chicks and sometimes older.

D-Bar Produce has opened a store in Krum. Most of their produce is grown at their farm in Ponder.
