Nancy Drew Diaries 9 – The Clue At Black Creek Farm

This is the ninth book of The Nancy Drew Diaries. In it, a local farm is sabotaged.

Nancy and her friends want to join Black Creek Farm CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). Sam and Abby Heyworth run Black Creek’s organic farm and the CSA, a program where people pay to receive fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the growing season. Buyers get local produce at a reasonable price; the farmers get money to run their farm. Everybody wins!

But during a fundraising dinner, several people become seriously ill, and tests reveal that the fruits and vegetables are contaminated with E. coli bacteria. Sam swears his produce is clean: E. coli doesn’t magically appear in vegetables. All signs point to sabotage.

Nancy and his friends are on the case. But who would try to ruin a farm? And why?
