Someth...Honey is something else we can get locally. Something that we can't grow here is olives so I haven't figured out a way to get cooking oil locally yet. As much as we love fresh citrus, we can't grow that here either, so we normally only get it a few times a year when we are either on vacation, or someone we know is on vacation we buy a big bag and bring it home. Same thing with shrimp, we buy it in bulk from the coast everytime we go.Rachel Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349620560633134247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512868575052222329.post-44845601220520985472011-04-10T18:47:07.509-05:002011-04-10T18:47:07.509-05:00Great post!

You are blessed to have so much good food available to you.<br />We support local organic farmers by buying at the farmer's markets and through our co-op. We also purchase local honey. I think it can be somewhat limiting though, depending upon where in the country you live. Here in Florida we have an abundance of citrus and veggies, but I don't know anywhere where you can purchase grain or milled flour. We just do the best we can. ;0)daisy ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06129079277073067462noreply@blogger.com
