Yes it can be done
From Grist magazine:
Imagine a place where residents pull together to create a thriving store and restaurant serving fresh, local food. Imagine a place where the money appears, the dreams become real, the produce and pastured meat taste like home. Imagine a place where officials support these dreams with policies that fund organic farmers and encourage the purchase of local food.
You can stop imagining. It's happening in Woodbury County, Iowa.
It may seem an unlikely place for a food revolution, but in some ways it's absolutely fitting. Surrounded by an increasingly industrial landscape, the people here decided they were hungry for change, and now they're making themselves a better -- and healthier -- way.

It may not be the cheapest option, but local food pays off -- and it tastes dang good.
