Hello All!
My name is Micaela and I've been following this listserv ever since I settled in Encinitas last Winter. Though I'm on the road at the moment I still follow the posts. For my job I've been reading Reporter Queries from HARO (help a reporter out) and I came across this one that I thought some of you might be interested in:
26) Summary: Organic Local Farmers
Category: Lifestyle and Fitness
Email: query-1eey@helpareporter.com
Media Outlet: San Diego City News
Deadline: 07:00 PM EST - 30 July
Query:
I am interested in interviewing a couple San Diego local farmers
who currently sell their produce at Farmers Markets' in either
Downtown, North Park, Hillcrest, or surrounding areas. I am
specifically looking for information on the health benefits of
eating organic produce and will be promoting the local markets as well.
So if you're interested in responding, do it soon! There's a deadline and reporters don't like to drag these things out. I have successfully gone through the process before and it can be fun. Send a short blurb to the email provided. For tips on what to say check here:

I hope I helped connect some people out there. If not, it was worth a try!
I look forward to being back in the San Diego area, and eventually attending some of the fantastic events I hear about in person.--
