What does "locally grown" mean to you?

[RjCorazza]

In grocery stores, I presume locally grown to be within a hundred miles or so.
For a road side farm market, I expect the produce to be grown on site or a nearby farm. A farm market next to me sells stuff from at least one state away as "local". He does pick out some nice produce and other products though!

That makes complete sense. We have strawberry vendors who sell right out of the fields where they pick them.

Purchase at the sellers resident.

We have a good bit of that, around here. Most often buying it off a wagon at the end of the farmer’s driveway, usually run by one of his kids, or honor system cash box.

That’s the only “locally grown” I’m usually willing to pay extra for.

Neighbor has an "honor" vegetable box. Works well.

My father did that with the greenhouse for years. There was a slot in the door where you slid your money. Actually, he just raised a pane of glass in the old single pane door a bit.

Tasmania is an island and a State, so anything else is not 'local'.

Bananas come from North N.S.W. or Queensland.

Local for us is we grew it in our garden or greenhouse.

I love the "local" honey sellers who take their bees to Florida and California, and sell honey sticks they buy online

Federal definition: within 400 miles or in the same state.
