Do you know exactly what a comarca is?
Here you search by comarca before province, and that is no accident: it is the unit country people think in.
Between the village and the province
The comarca groups neighbouring towns that share ground, water and custom. It is bigger than a village and a good deal smaller than a province, and that is why it is the only scale at which the question «who grows this near me?» has an answer you can drive round.
What is on the list today
Right now this directory has 150 farms spread across 53 comarcas and 78 towns. A comarca's page gives you all its farms at once and goes down to each village; the village's page leaves you at the door.
Why we do not sort by province
A province can have coast, irrigated land and dry land inside the same line on the map, and that is not much use to somebody after vegetables. The comarca is: it is the piece of ground on which two farms know each other. If you would rather see it, the map carries 111 farms placed on it.
