Shop local and "real" fresh, like picked that day.

"Local" is grown from the same exact seeds as the large farms most of the time. Because of market forces local farms actually have higher overheads due to the laws of scale.

You might have to pay double-triple for the variety you like.

Yes, but the process is different, as it optimizes the quality at the time of picking, rather than after several days spent in a container.
