From Philly.com: Thinking about getting those birdfeeders ready for fall and winter? I know mine need another wash and disinfection rinse. But what about the seed? Now's the time when ardent birders stock up. For locavores who want to keep their birds' diets local as well, New Jersey Audubon has an answer.

Beginning next Saturday, New Jersey Audubon will begin selling this year's crop of local sunflower seed. The organization has dubbed it S.A.V.E. — for Support Agricultural Viability and the Environment. Audubon touts it as a  green, sustainable product that benefits New Jersey’s agricultural community and the environment.
