Thursday on 10 at 10 on ABC5 I had a story all about buying locally. We talked to local farmer Jennie Smith about the work and community it takes. She also loves providing locally grown, delicious food for the metro.
As promised here's a link to almost all the farmer's markets in the state:

This is information from Pioneer about GMO foods:
Dr. Ruth MacDonald at ISU is a great resource on this subject, and you can
find lots of information on biotechnology at www.foodinsight.org/foodbioguide.aspx.
“Biotechnology is an
important tool as we look at feeding the world, and DuPont Pioneer
develops products utilizing biotechnology that are at least as safe as their
conventionally produced counterparts for both human food and animal
feed.
"The American Medical
Association, the American Dietetic Association, and the U.S. National Academy of
Sciences have all declared biotech foods safe for human and animal consumption.
And since being introduced to U.S. markets in 1996 there has not been a single
report of a food-borne illness related to a biotech trait."
Monsanto also has information:

Super Saver
All week long on 10 at 10 on ABC5 we've been showing you ways to save big with our money saving mom Anna Fuller. She's showed us how she saves big on groceries, fuel, how she makes things from scratch and grows so much of her own food. Some of you have asked for websites and such so that you can get more information to get great deals like Anna. Here's some of the websites that Anna uses are her tools:
You can also see all five of the stories I did with Anna on the video tab of www.myabc5.com
