http://www.olyfarms.org/

This third sustainable ag blog, out of Olympia, Washington, formed in response to growing cocern oven the state of America's food supply, which is in the hands of profit-driven mega corporations, producing food as a merely commodity. The blog itself is rather small scale, originating from a desire to expand small organic farms in the South Sound area. The blog provides information on  composting benefits, sustainable gardening including permaculture, organic fertilizer, some news artciles, and some cost saving tips. Blogs like this are legion, proving that concerns about the conventional farming system aboud, and are far from isolated.

A diverse sustaniable agriculture news blog, The Ethicurean provides articles on nearly everything having to do with sustainable ag. Common topics include activism, buisness and technology, culture, education, and farming, and food. Those are merely the broad categories, though. The blog covers some more interesting points, such as fast food, cloning, Big Ag, GMOs, and Urban Farming. Such topics may seem controversial, especially GMOs, but they are important ones, worthy of discussion.
