Check out the website www.easterncarolinaorganics.com for a list of organic produce wholesalers in NC!
It looks like they mostly cater to the middle of the state.... I'll add to this post as I get more info.

Victory Garden 1940's ad campaign
I like the idea of using vintage and/or pop art as an advertising tool. Google the 1940's Victory Garden Campaign for imagery. The Victory Garden campaign encouraged wives of soldiers to plant their own gardens at home while their husbands were off fighting in the war. This helped commercial food producers focus on sending food supplies overseas to the troops. By the end of the war, 40% of the nation's vegetables were coming from Victory Gardens.
One of their campaign slogans was "The Local Food Movement Starts at Home". Local food is characterized as food that is produced within 100 miles of the purchase point. This means that if Hunter and Bri want to set up a Boone branch, you'll need to select vendors in that area of the state.

possible names: "Produced," and "Fraiche" --contributed by Bri
Allie likes something including "Doorstep" to suggest the delivery part of our service, and Barb likes the idea of including "Organics" to show that specialty, hard to come by here in the land of greasy processed foods....
bouncing off of that, Josh suggested "Fresh Step" to capitalize on the kitty litter name recognition. heehee
Allie if Josh has an email address to include please add it under "Settings" and then go to "Permissions." ,
I think when you enter a post you can go ahead and "publish" cause we are the only ones with permission to view this blog until we are ready to go public.
