As a shopper who enjoys buying locally grown produce since it helps support our local farmers, I am suprised why many supermarkets promote California items more often then locally grown product. I have always found that the NJ peaches eat just as good ,if not better then product that has been shipped across the country. How much fuel are these truck using to haul this product 3,000 miles......just thinking "Green".
Please support our local farmers to keep growing fresh product , its better then having them plant new housing developements . This is the Garden State, lets keep it this way.
