I buy local to help support the farmers and cause of the taste differences. Trucked from god knows where can never compare with fresh picked.
Exactly, I buy chickens from a local Hutterite colony, because it tastes like... well... chicken. Beef comes from grass fed Holstein steers kept by a local dairy producer and pork she also raises. She also sells lamb from one of her friends. Fantastic!
There is just such a difference between locally grown fresh produce, and the stuff they sell in grocery stores. And there is a third level, produce you find in markets in places like France. Locally grown and sold produce is good, but those farmers know how to turn it up to eleven.
