Beth- in response to your thoughts on this project through the New Farm.  Is this related to the Rodale Institute's Organic Price Index?

http://www.rodaleinstitute.org/Organic-Price-Report

The reason I ask, is because it seems like their price report is still up and running- but seems to be more a yearly index than one updated throughout the season. 

Additionally,  I'm wondering if there is the chance that the project might be resurrected with all the "green" funding the new administration is putting through.    Does anyone have a good contact at NewFarm that would know about the old project?


Thanks!

John Paul


Maybe NewFarm will reply and give accurate current information. I THINK the
price project is dormant. I cooperated in it several years ago. The entry
wasn't hard at all, but finding time at market to see what prices were was
my challenge. But, I THINK the organic price project was grant funded, along
with the wonderful columns for new farmers that they had, and the grant has
ended, without longterm funding to keep it up.
