Around here, local foods are usually the same price or less as the food shipped in from around the world. As far as I can tell, you can't drive ten miles in any direction in these parts without seeing a farm or orchard, even though we're in the "city". There are two farms within three miles of me and I live in the fourth largest city in Oregon. I love it.
