Interested in finding a source for locally grown meat and eggs? Today the Union of Concerned Scientists posted a new feature on its website to help. It discusses a recent twist in community supported agriculture programs -- ones that focus solely on providing meat and dairy products.

The website profiles successful programs in Ohio, New York and California, including the Sonoma County Meat Buying Club.
