Last trip to the grocery store I couldn't find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I'm very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there's even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I'd expected.

Signed up for the Odd Bunch. You get imperfect produce which is still perfectly edible delivered all from local producers. Like a CSA share. It actually ends up being less expensive than the store. You'll have to be creative in using it up, but it's a great option. Link: https://go.referralcandy.com/share/9TSC9RD?s=sp&t=cp

Looks like it's just major cities, which makes sense, but then again if you're not in a major city you probably have gift overgrown zucchinis appearing on your front step anyway.

What months does it run where you live?

I just started, I think every month. I'll find out, my SO ordered it so I'm not sure.

I am also a subscriber. While some of the produce still comes from the US, I think it reduces our dependence by reducing waste. It is cheaper than the super market but still more expensive than the local grocers here in Vancouver.

I don't mind supporting small farms in the US or buying their imperfect produce so it doesn't get wasted.

Wonder if there's a version of this from the states.
