I am in extreme northern Wisconsin in Bayfield County. With high gas prices driving 100 miles one way is not an option. There is also something to be said for buying locally. My partner owns a coffee shop. Obviously no one is growing coffee beans in Wisconsin, but we have our beans roasted within the state and we hope that local residents will purchase our brand over those from outside of the state. Our Chamber of Commerce is encouraging residents and businesses to support each other by purchasing locally when possible. It would be nice to be able to find locally produced food using this site.
