Sometimes. You cannot go to a store and buy the freshest, most mouth watering and delicious fruits because they cannot handle being shipped even locally.

A warm, juicy peach right off the tree is an amazing experience.

Also, you know 100% of what what was and what wasn't done to your stuff.

That said, I don't have the time or will to grow all my own veggies that I like daily.

I can, however make enough other stuff that's saleable so I can afford fresh veg year round.

Great but that has nothing to do with keeping a population of 8 Billion People happy and healthy.

Some things are ridiculously easy to grow in some places and we should for exactly that reason. It's like drinking bottled water when you have an amazing spring in your backyard of great tasting clean water.
