I found a good resource for starting to collect local producers. This is a great site with lots of good information including local producers.
I'm going to start calling producers and going to see one a week on Sundays. All are welcome on these field trips.
One of my goals is to wean my family from non-local non-natural foods. We will start buying grass fed natural beef, goats, turkeys and chickens.
cognitive update: We should sign people up for local agriculture 101. This would be an effort to get people eating more locally. The focus would be these Sunday field trips and a collaborative effort to eat more locally. So, for example, several folks might go in together to by a locally raised cow for slaughter. Maybe we would have weekly egg deposits, milk, cheese etcetera. Each person participating would be given an assignment such as lining up a local producer to go visit.

Hugh - I'm reading some of your older posts... You may know this now that you've visited Sand Creek, but they have a delivery driver (Yadi Salkin) who brings orders from the farm into town each Friday for an easier pick up. This sounds like one of the things in your post that you wanted to find.
Let me know if you need more info.
