So do I, but BEWARE: many of the 'locals' simply purchase produce from distributors, put it in plain cardboard boxes in the back of their pickups and sell it to people who think they are buying 'local' produce. Sometimes they don't even bother to get rid of the commercial boxes..................
True, but if you can’t tell quality produce by looking at it and smelling it, you might as well just buy at the grocery store anyway.
It’s not ‘organic’ that I’m after, it’s getting the really good stuff and supporting the locals that is where why and how I will spend my money. I am fortunate that I can take, if I want, 6 hours and spend $60 to cook a 6 course meal on the weekend, but I’ve spent a lot of time and money developing my cooking chops. If you get used to the good stuff you can tell crap no matter how ‘hip’ the vendors are :-)
