I don't have answers to the questions posed about local food, but wanted
to point readers to the archives of sanet-mg, and how to browse/search
them. I'll send a more complete (and more general) description in a
subsequent message.
Remembering that we had had such a conversation on sanet, I searched the
archives in two ways. First, from the SAN home page at
http://www.sare.org, I clicked on search, then used the pull-down window
to select sanet-mg for searching. Using two words (food travels) without
punctuation or conjunctions (and,or), I hit on most of the posts from
conversations on sanet in February of 1996, plus a few other threads,
and the usual few *bad hits* from my search, as shown below:

THEN, after clicking on some of those from mbox-11, I found that the
discussion took place in February of 1996. So, I NEXT went from the home
page to click on sanet-mg, and scrolled down to find the m-box for Feb.
96, clicked on that, SORTED BY SUBJECT, then scrolled down to find this
thread of conversation.

NOTE that looking in the m-box for a date range does not get you other
messages from a different time period. For this, the search works
better. However, a search on *organic* will give you too many hits...
I'll send another message about searching sanet-mg archives.
