See, I don’t know about a lot of folks in the deep south, but here in VA the local farmer’s market tends to see most of its produce vendors close shop in the winter. Why? BECAUSE THERE’S NOT MUCH GROWING! It’s why you can’t grow much in your garden in the winter unless you’re operating a greenhouse because the first frost will kill it. And most local farms do not pump out crops large enough to supply a single grocery store for a week, let alone a chain for any appreciable length of time. That pack of strawberries with the “locally grown” sticker on it? Odds are it’s from a factory farm that supplies more than just your local grocery store. And when the imports of strawberries dry up, so will those packs because the factory farm is gonna sell more of its product to the companies pumping out strawberry pastries and straw daiquiri mixes than to your grocery store chain.
