True, it does depend on where you live. I can ride around my block,
which is roughly one mile by one kilometre, and I can get(in season)
fresh tomatoes, asparagus, rhubarb, strawberries, blueberries,
raspberries, beans, peas, tomatoes cucumbers, cherries (sweet and sour)
pears, apples, peaches, corn, eggs and honey. There are also horses,
cows and chickens. A few miles from here I can drive past horse farms
and vineyards and there are no produces stands.
