Ah, reminds me of when I used to go "upstate" into my 20s - there was the old lady with about 20 chicked in the back behind the house - and a simple sign - "eggs". You had to know.

Milk from a Jersey or Gurnsey cow - has so much butterfat it's yellow

CORN (oh yes - reminds me - have to head up there this weekend if I can- but probably cant) - watch the guy pick it and hand it to you - iced in the field. You would not believe how sweet it is. I know a place around here - hand cut kilbasa, and home smoked slab bacon (which I almost never buy, as I use about 1.5 lbs of bacon/year - 1 lb of that covering the Thanksgiving turkey

The problem with living in NYC - almost nothing local. Up until of, 10 years or so ago, there were still 1-2 active farms out in eastern Queens, which is where I life. It was "good". Although I say I won't get upstate, I will be out on Long Island (have to drop my daughter at Shelter Island), so I'll stop at the farm stands, and get some local veggies, fruit and the like. Leeks, Broccoli, corn and califlower among others should be in.

BTW, there is an underrated veggie IMHO - leeks - they can be kept underground, or a root cellar, or a frig for a LONG time, and they tatse GOOD
