That's also true. Delivery truck gas costs money, so produce doesn't come far. You're so lucky.
My lettuce and tomatoes (Maruetsu) comes from Gunma, Miyagi, Fukushima (less and less) and Nagano. There have been very local (probably hand-carried to the supermarket) potatoes and tomatoes lately. Those are tasty, too!
I miss the Farmer's Markets where locals (and I mean "across the street" locals) carry their veggies in the morning to sell. I had one when living in Oume, and in Nagano. It was nice to greet the people who grow your food every morning.
