View Larger Map
Inspired by the logic behind this post from Jenny Vorwaller and this successful initiative by James Corbett, I've decided to start a map of places where you can find healthy fresh farm produce.
The map will include farmers markets, artisan food retailers and individual farmers who sell directly to the consumer. Let me know, if I should add to that list.
The idea is that anybody can see at a glance, who is providing fresh food in their immediate vicinity and when they are open for business.
If you are unsure how to add a location to the map have a look at this video to see how. It's really easy and will only take a minute or so. Click here, when you're ready to add a location to it.
If there are any bloggers out there interested in this subject, it would be great if you could link to this post and spread the word. If this is popular, I'm going to try and creat a badge for it, so that people can put a permanent link to it on their sidebar.

Paul, great idea and good luck with it. If you would like to make the information available as a free download to GPS devices from mypois.ie please get in touch.
Hi John! Thanks for the offer. I'll certainly get in touch with you if it takes off.
Paul Sweeney was going to the Limerick market today so I asked him, on Twitter, to add the location to the map when he got back. But on Twitter you're limited to 140 characters so I thought it might be useful to create a short URL as below to make it easier to link

Great idea, I'm sure there are lots of ways in which this can be used.
I've justed added Douglas Farmers Market in Cork to the Map.
I've also just launched an Irish Community Website, would it be possible to make a post in your blog about it?
