I buy local produce for 3 commercial kitchens when I can. We are in a more rural area which makes it a bit easier. We have had a great year so far with asparagus. I have purchased around 800 lbs from a local producer. The flavor is so much better than the "fresh" asparagus I buy from my food suppliers. I can't wait for tomatoes..last year there were no local tomatoes available because of extreme temps and drought. The year before I bought hundreds of pounds...hopefully this year the weather cooperates..
