Well, Liz, our market considers "Locally Grown" to mean, from states
contiguous to Illinois. I thought that was completely unacceptable that we
were selling "local" produce from other states. I could have lived with
contiguous counties but we are hardly on the state line.

When resale exists, the notion of "locally grown" becomes even more
ambiguous.
So I could go to a town south of me, buy melons purchased in Indiana and
peaches purchased in Michigan and sell them as "local".

That's a problem.
