Thanks to all who followed our PCC Road Trip online earlier this summer! Our video crew visited four great PCC producers: River Valley Organics in Tonasket, Wash.; Pure Éire Dairy in Othello, Wash.; and in Zillah, Wash., Scott Leach Orchards and LaPierre Farms.

Check out pccroadtrip.posterous.com to hear from the farmers we met (and to see their orchards, fields and Jersey cows!). Stay tuned on Facebook and Twitter for the debut of their producer profile videos, including interviews, messages to PCC shoppers, and a look at their organic methods!
