Last night at HEB I tried to be a "local" produce buyer, but I found only Californian tomatoes and strawberries. Yes, I admit August is a little late to be expecting local strawberries, but for Pete's sake, Texas tomatoes are surely still around! The strawberries smelled so damned good I couldn't not buy them.
I had promised the kids a homemade Tomato Pie for dinner tonight, so I bought the West Coast tomatoes anyway. I honestly tried to buy local, but it just didn't pan out. Looks like I'll have to head to the farmer's market for actual Texan produce.

Actually, the Farmer's Market really didn't have very many tomatoes *they didn't have much beyond tons and tons of peppers and okra. Must be the rain*. And the week before, the line was soooo long for tomatoes. I say: do what you can to buy locally but if you can't, try to buy close by. See, your West Coast tomatoes are closer than those Chilean ones (if they exist).
You're doing good!!
