Agriculture officials in Delaware have a new website keeping you updated on everything from the farmer's market to the field.

Steele: "More and more farmers are getting computer savvy, if you will, and they want to be able...they want that outlet."

Delaware Department of Agriculture spokesperson Kelli Steele says Delawarefresh.com is a website that keeps both farmers, residents and visitors with a finger on the agricultural pulse in Delaware.

Steele: "It gives farmers a way to contact the terminal markets directly. You can check the availability of produce; what's in season, when it comes in season, how long it's in season."

There's also a spot where you can type in a zip code to find ag destinations, plus a kid's activities area. And visitors to Delaware should find it especially helpful.

Steele: "They're interested in such things as where can I go to buy fresh tomatoes when I'm staying at my beach home, and they're interested in the local farming community."
