Interim: Local Flavor

LOCAL FLAVOR

The difference between locally grown and shipped-in fresh produce is "night and day." They taste better, they look better, they're better for you. A lot of these guys aren't using a lot of chemicals. And, if they do, they're managing it instead of some big low-crop thing where everything's getting sprayed by a plane or big machines. The farmer or whoever is bringing it to you, that's the only fuel that's being used instead of being trucked from thousands of miles away like most vegetables are." - Jackson Kramer
