Fresh Food Map for Ireland
Inspired by the logic behind this post from Jenny Vorwaller and this successful initiative by James Corbett, I’ve started a map of places where you can find healthy fresh farm produce.
The map will include farmers markets, artisan food retailers and individual farmers who sell directly to the consumer. Let me know, if I should add to that list.
The idea is that anybody can see at a glance, who is providing fresh food in their immediate vicinity and when they are open for business.This is an open collaborative map, which means that anybody can add a location to the map. If you are unsure how to add a location, have a look at this video to see how. It’s really easy and will only take a minute or so. Click here, when you’re ready to add a location to it.
If there are any bloggers out there interested in this subject, it would be great if you could link to this post and spread the word. If this is popular, I’m going to try and creat a badge for it, so that people can put a permanent link to it on their sidebar.
Update:
There does seem to be an interest in this, so I have created a badge for it, which you can see on my sidebar. If you want to add this badge to your blog, you can use the following code snippet:

This is a brilliant idea. I will try and add our local farmers market. If you come up with a badge it would certainly be displayed on my blog.

Thanks Rebecca, that would be a great help.

I’ll put this in the sidebar anyway - but a badge is always good! We’re all busy, but it would be great to see as many additions as possible and the map kept up to date.

This is a lovely idea and so very practical too!
I’ve already added a few local people to the map and just hope that they live up to the high standards required! I am pretty sure that they will!!
I’m going to try and add this too my blog as it can only open more doors for those of us who want to eat healthily and reduce our impact on the environment. Thanks again!
