I think consumer perceptions are the biggest challenge for
local growers. In some areas consumers think the local grower does a much better
job delivering quality. In other areas consumers seem to think the immaculate,
well-lit, clean (usually), flashy environment of the big-box grocery is a better
guarantee of quality (go figger). In some places local growers will have to work
much harder to market their product. They may not get as good returns for their
effort for a while either until they've convinced a consumer base that's large
enough to develop the demand that will raise prices.
