Oberon46 said:This is really interesting. We see stuff on stands that you know was trucked over the highway from the lower 48. Especially fruit. But they make no bones about it and things like oranges, cherries ,etc are really far superior to what we see in our stores quite often. Prices are astronomical but those oranges taste like they were just picked from a tree. The little farmer's market just up the street from my neighborhood looks authentic but now I will go and look at it with a more jaundiced eye to 'imports'.


Actually, you made me rethink... it is good to eat fresh produce regardless. And when it is better than store bought there isn't really a down side. Thanks.

Do they by any chance indicate where the produce was grown?
