GREAT post Pablo.
Why do people feel the need to buy things from other places that are grown right here in their own back yard?
I always support our local farmers.

Try to find local farmers that raise their own Cows, pigs, and chickens, they don't feed them cemicials, try buying your eggs off of a farmer, most sell them for a $1.00 to $1.50 a doz. alot cheaper then the store

Well, people used to 'can' their own veggies in Mason jars, remember? And a root cellar kept high density crops like carrots, beets and cabbage fresh all winter.


Keep in mind that refrigerators and trucks shipping produce from warm weather states is only a hundred years old or so. People got along fine for millenia before then, you know.

We grown a very large garden and can. Yes, it takes time, but in the long run the vegetables taste better and I don't have to worry about what is in my food.
That is also why we buy 1/4 of a cow in the fall. No steroids, no preservatives, no additives, just corn and hay fed meat.

Plus I don't have to pay the ever rising costs of meat and vegetables in the store.

Pablo,

Great post guy! Having local fresh produce is the way to go whenever possible! But I'll say this for everyone reading: if there's something that you can't get locally due to the season, and you weren't able to can it or dehydrate it ahead of time, we have some great stuff in California that we'd be happy to ship out to you guys too! Think of the oranges...mmm!!! Oh, by the way, if you heard about the beef scandal in Southern California, don't worry, that one meat house is closed, and the beef has been recalled...it didn't make its way to Ohio. No need to ask that big question: Where's The Beef? Where's The Beef?

By the way, do avocados grow well in Ohio? If not, California will be happy to send some out.
