There's quite a bit of local food available here, but you have to go look for it. Farmers Markets do have local, but not exclusively so you have to pick and choose. The closest store that has organic and local food is about 5 miles away. I have not made it a habit to ride my bike across town regularly to go there, though. They are very expensive (more expensive than Whole Foods). No competition, really.
The local grocery store chain has a pretty good selection of organic, but not local foods. Given the choice, I'll buy local over organic from California.
I get my beef directly from the local farmer. The farm is owned and run by a family and they live at the farm. They also sell eggs, but since I get the beef only every few months, I don't go often enough for eggs all the time.
When I move to my new house, I'll get back into having my own garden. I grew alot of my own food when I lived in DC and had a garden.
