from A Conversation with Eliot Coleman

I am amazed that organic has done as well as it has. What is going to
change thingsand there is a lot of agreement among geologists is
that we are at the peak of oil production. Demand is going up so fast that
there will no longer be cheap oil. It is cheap oil that makes it possible
to ship tomatoes all the way from Mexico to Maine. In twenty years, the
small local farm is going to look better and better because the cost of
transportation is going to be a lot bigger chunk of the price than it is
now.
