A rural farming community doesn't produce year-round goods managed through greenhouses and southern hemisphere producers and a cold warehousing and shipping industry. It produces a couple weeks of huge quantities of one or two kinds of produce a couple times a year.

We have rice, cotton, corn, soy, locally as well as two large vegetable farms with I don't even know how many acres of greenhouses. The large vegetable farms sell most of their produce to chain-grocer warehouses and restaurant suppliers. They will sell to the public, but don't really seem to like doing so.
