I noticed that during the driver shortages in the US, produce from Cali was noticeably more expensive than local produce (NC region), which made me angry. Chains like target/Walmart didn't bother selling fruit from local farms and would rather sell marked up fruit from Cali. Watermelons grown in the same region were $2-3, whereas from Cali were $5-8. Fortunately grocery store chains did have locally grown produce for cheaper.
I'm NC region as well, 7b represent :) I keep seeing tomatoes from Canada at Lowes Food
