That's a really good question. I'm in the same position as my husband and I are caretakers for his grandmother at the moment. Where we are at there is next to no room to do much for growing of a garden so the next best thing is to by local produce or purchase it at the grocery store.
Luckily, there is one store which I go to frequently because I know the produce is fresh daily and have never had any issues with it. I have a few other questions regarding canning which I will put into another thread however I would like to know as well, does it really make a difference on the veggies/other if it is store bought or home grown when it comes to canning?
