Farmers have been adding strained cooking grease to diesel for years in their John Deere tractor gas mix. Dairy, eggs, milk, butter is fresh and state certified organic (not easily accomplished); as well as the meats I buy. Bakery products are also organic based in make up and very creative.
Gardens are just in their initial growing season. Local strawberries, blueberries (sold by the roadside), cranberries. Fresh fish, lobster, any fruit de mar is plentiful. Coffee may be Equal Exchange Coffee, a Fair Trade organic coffee company. Even treats for dogs locally produced (seaweed for glucosime intake etc.) Grains are often milled within the state. Granolas containing nuts and dried fruits locally produced taking the place of box cereals.
Beers are from many local micro breweries. Even canned vegetables produced within the state like fiddle heads, new tomato pasta sauce company opening up nearby. Many families have made their own canned (and now frozen)fruits and vegetables for centuries. Pickles, relish, cheeses are locally produced and sold. Green grocer type stores (around for years now) are enlarging from popularity of local and tourist demand.
I believe in supporting local and state business owners. Farm stores plentiful and thriving. Cottage industry owners/entrepreneurs have made for a better tasting, much fresher and healthier product. I rarely stop at a Hannafords type chain corporate store, but they all have enlarged as well bringing on more "natural" locally or regionally produced products.
From a few packages of seeds, a garden you can grow anywhere whether in a tilled landscape or garden pots-depends on the needs of the grower.
The farmers in my state never got the government benefits $$$$ as the corporate farmers of the Midwest, so they carved out their own niche stateside and Internationally...very successfully, I might add.
Waht state do you live in?
