Thanks Richard,

You cover it pretty well. This obviously isn't a 'legal' local produce term as far as what the grocery stores decides to label the stuff they sell but it is a step in that direction for giving us a definition. Do you think this is good or bad? Should we go a step further and have this definition of local produce be turned into a legal term? Remember when the term organic switched from being an informal term to a legal one.
