I agree....grow your own.
I think people should look into what is grown in their states and encourage more of it.
Most people don’t think of Michigan as a big farming state but we rank first in something like 13 different crops (mostly for processed food like pickling cucumbers, tart cherries, baking apples etc) Greens and root crops grow very well here too. In fact one of the biggest mistakes I see gardeners make is not growing climate appropriate crops. I like tomatoes and I do grow them but I can’t count on them from year to year.
