I'm happy to pay more to support locally grown fruits and veggies. They are uglier but taste better. And nice supporting local people on micro farms. In season grown produce is so much better than genetically modified for color and transport, picked way too early and shipped halfway around the world, produce.
Best example was recent though not a direct example. Went to England, stayed at an AirBnB in London. Wanted some strawberries and whipped cream one night for dessert. Went to the supermarket down the street, got some rather unappetizing small pinkish red berries and a pint of double cream. Both had Made in England support local labor (or something like that) labels.
The strawberries were AMAZING. I mean some of the best strawberries I've ever had. Sweet and super tasty. The heavy cream was the same as U.S. Contrast that to Driscoll's strawberries at U.S. supermarkets which are picture perfect red and huge and ready for a magazine cover. And taste only slightly better than the clear plastic container they come in. Completely tasteless. But cheap.
