We started doing this a lot this year. My wife is really into shopping for products within a 50 mile radius as a way to be GREEN. She was regular at our local farmers market and the egss and milk we got this year were great tasting and cheaper. The honey I'm using is bottled within a mile of us. We just harvested a lot of apples from our yard as well. We're canned applesauce and already made a pie.

Next year it'll be more heirloom seeds in raised beds. Locally obtaining products cuts the fuel costs of getting products and less gas usage means less air pollution. I'd encourage anyone to do whatever possible to support local crops/products/services.
