Picking up on the "eat local" trend, the Dole food company is helping locavores get connected by putting the identity of the organic banana farm where the bananas were grown on the sticker on each batch. For instance, these Dole organic bananas were grown at Dole's Certified Organic Farm #781. By going to doleorganic.com and selecting Farm 781 you can see pictures of the farm -- in this case the El Pozo Farm ("pozo" means "well" or "shaft" in Spanish, as in "water well" or "mine shaft") on the northern coast of Colombia. You can even link to Google Earth to get a map of Colombia and see the location of the farm. It ain't local, but it seems a little closer.
