It all depends on where you are ..... if you travel, you'll want to support the local farmers. This weekend, we traveled to the Lisbon, Ohio area and then on through Salem, Ohio to pick up 1/2 peck & peck sized clear plastic bags at the GreenStar Cooperative. We use them to package wool & fleece for sale. It's also a great place to get baskets, produce containers, and wooden crates if you're a market gardener (or for crafting and displays).
On the way back home, we stopped in at Gasper's Garden just outside of Washingtonville. When I got out of the truck, the driver in the truck next to me said hello. I returned the hello thinking that it was just a friendly stranger, but was surprised to see someone from our home area! 
It was one of the guys (Dave's straightman!) from Dave's Heating who does the annual service check on our oil furnace. Turns out that he was with his family at the Quaker City Raceway in nearby Salem and they always come out to Gasper's Garden for sweetcorn. They wait to get to the raceway and then go out to buy fresh local sweetcorn & fruit instead of packing it from home.
