"I am trying to figure out how or if I can source food locally from farmers and such."
Have you done a search for a list of CSAs? Community Supported Agriculture could be the ticket if you enjoy preparing your own food.
A few of us do it in our family and it and I find it to be a great value here in South Louisiana.
Here are three videos that make me laugh and still teach me new tricks to cooking and I am 77 years old. It is fun just to watch. Make sure and notice what is on the back wall of his kitchen. The first two are chicken recopies that take no more then 10 minutes but use fresh ingredients and huge flavor.
A long, long time ago I saw that doctor who rolls around naked in the mud in Arazona(?).
He told Johnie Carson, that he didn't trust margarine and was not going to give up butter, he said something about margarine's carbon-carbon double bond making him cautious. This was just when everyone was freaking out about butter. For some reason I trusted him, course I didn't know then that he rolled around in mud. I never gave up butter or red meat.
And watch the videos, you'll get a laugh and be supporting, whether he knows it or not a fellow pede, as demonstrated when he tells you about the "time police".
I live in a rich ag area, so this may not work for you, but a lot of farmers here in Oregon advertise on Craigslist. I buy meat straight from the farmer this way. A lot of them even deliver it.

And if you watch this short video on how to caramelize onions you will learn why he keeps a big tub of butter right by him as he cooks.
