American Livestock Breeds Conservancy (information on rare and endangered breeds - we are a member):
The Carolina Farm Stewardship Association (we are a supporting member)
www.carolinafarmstewards.org/
Purebred Dexter Cattle Association of North America (PDCA) (we are also a member of this organization)
For a source of Dexter Cattle in Virgina I can highly recommend Paradise Farm (where my first Dexter (Bluebell) was born - Gene Bowen is a true gentleman and very knowledgeable on Dexters) www.paradisedexters.com
Green Creek Winery (just down the street from us) has the world's first Red Chardonnay
www.greencreekwinery.com I had to splurge on a case for special times but haven't tasted it yet.
OK this is not so local :-) (5 hours drive) but we attended Bob and Ginger's HTH and highly recommend this site for BBQ info:
