Yes, I think that's part of the dilemma for those people who are absolutely committed to eating locally. I don't have that kind of commitment; I would just like to make an effort to do it when it's feasible. Some of the baked goods offered in my CSA, for example, have grains in them that are processed locally, even if not grown here. I have a friend with chickens and I try to get my eggs from her, but mainly because they just taste better than the ones from the store. This is my first foray into the local cheese, but it won't be my last because it is GOOD.
