Tangent warning: There's actually a large amount of produce for NYC that is grown locally. Leaving aside the Union Square Greenmarket which gets produce from as far away as Buffalo, most of the Greenmarkets have farms coming up from long island, upstate ny, new jersey and PA. And there's a small subset which is actually grown in NYC (the first time I saw the chickens in Harlem was quite confusing).
