The update is that right outside campus here in NYC there is a Farmer's Market today, so I will be able to get potatoes, apples and onions (I don't think mushrooms though) from upstate NY- less than 100 miles from my house in CT !

I'll bet you can find some Maine potatoes since you're in New England, and Pennsylvania is a mushroom growing state. So you don't have to get it from California. My family is going out to eat but I'm pleased to say the local restaurant, Cresheim Cottage Cafe in Philadelphia, is (to quote its own words) "committed to purchasing locally and sustainably grown food whenever reasonable, and we offer free-range, organic and/or wild meat, poultry and seafood when possible. " Being close to farm country (and Amish country) the place can tap CSAs, and we even have an urban farm, Somerton Tanks, right IN the city that supplies some local restaurants. I like to patronize places like this! Good for you! I’ll bet you can find some Maine potatoes since you’re in New England, and Pennsylvania is a mushroom growing state.
