[quote=Anonymous]I live in California and it's very common here to buy locally (I think local is defined as being within 150 miles of where you live). I do buy my eggs from Trader Joe's, but they're coming from a farm within that local range. Because I happen to live in a big farming state, I can buy most of my produce, meat, and dairy locally. If I couldn't, I would focus on what the laws ARE , rather than on what they might BECOME, and look at the treatment of the animals and produce wherever they are, and wash all produce upon getting it home before consuming. FYI, a lot of farms operate very close to the line, and as such can't afford the "organic" designation though they grow all their food organically. You have to pay to get inspected and be certified as organic, so it's good to read the specific farms' websites, and/or talk to them at farmer's markets to find out how they handle pest control.
