Thanks for the links. We buy the local citrus in Mesa every year and its great and much cheaper than you can get at the grocery. I've never been able to figure out why the nearby groceries like Basha's and Fry's do not dedicate a part of their produce area to local citrus during citrus season. It would help out the local economy and cut out the middle man, the distributors, so the prices could be lower but still the grocery would make an equal or even better profit. Maybe they have some contract with their distributors? Who knows. It seems the distributors are the only ones making money in the food market. Farmers struggle and grocery stores go in and out of business frequently. Hmmm.....
