check out your local coops there are many good websites directly linking you to them. Also a coop is cheaper if you go in with neighbors/friends to buy in bulk. Keep an eye out for overstock flyers and get friendly with the checkout people.
Regarding buying directly from a farm, if you live in a rural area many farms have stands where they sell produce at great rates. Or if you live further away you can join a farm share (usually $600) to join and then you get a box of whatever is in season on that farm each month. Personally, farm share is a great idea but a little pricey for me and DH. Also try contacting individual farmers...
