[Leica] High prices for veggies

[Don Dory]

I might add to this conversation; upstate New York has a very, very strong
local source food movement.  You will find some produce of very high
quality and decent pricing at the weekend
Farmers Markets.  When we go to Sarasota Springs the food is delightful at
the Farmers Market.
