Or is it tropical enough on the coastline there to grow fresh vegetables outdoors or did they stop eating fresh during winter?  Frozen can substitute.

I have a theory that commercial greenhouses mounted on the sunny side of malls could pay their own way by supplying solar heat.  And support a year round farmers market by creating a constant supply of fresh veggies from gardeners who lease the greenhouse and mall space.  Or stores who hire gardeners?  Or a coop.

Anyway it would bring shoppers streaming to the location in winter for a refreshing breath of spring/summer.  In the northern climes where the growing season is limited.

Thank you ... 100-mile diet is a real challenge and my household is a LONG way from coming close to it (or even seriously attempting it).  But, we are trying to do occasional meals this way and developing our knowledge ... and prioritizing local over distant in food purchases to a growing extent.
