Yes, we do think it's a pretty good bet that there were some apple growers among that crowd!<br /><br /> We at <em>Apple Journal</em> are interested in the people who produce apples (and other crops)—their values, their opinions, what their lives are like. Our sympathies lie with the small independent farmers who operate in a society and an economy that more and more seems to be stacked against them. Thank you for posting.

There is no download link, and not even a preview from the looks of it. If it is how about some instructions on how to cause I'm not seeing anything. I don't like being mislead. This isn’t free.

]]> Comment on Who Defines the “Local” in “Local Produce?” by Walt Rosenberg http://applejournal.com/blog/2011/whats-local-for-farmers-markets/#comment-21 Walt Rosenberg Sat, 14 May 2011 03:07:36 +0000 http://applejournal.com/blog/?p=96#comment-21 Got to agree with you, the whole idea of local doesn't seem to make sense, some folks want to say a 5 or 6 hour distance (within the same state) is local, but a 1 hour distance across a state line is not. Seems to me it will vary....a 2 hour drive in the east could cross multiple states, whereas in the western US 6 hours may be within the same state, but not sure that it should be considered local either. Seems to me, local is an hour or two distance from your home.
