12 Degrees of Freedom asks an important question:
In this day of when $130/barrel oil, is it better to buy organically grown carrots from a multi-hundred acre farm 2,000 miles away or a bunch grown nearby using a limited amount of chemicals as part of a responsibly administered pesticide management plan?
My vote is for the local stuff.
1. You know here it comes from. Maybe you even know the farmer himself.
2. You are supporting the local economy. Farmer Joe down the road needs my money a lot more than the big corporate farm and he appreciates my business.
