If you are looking for some of these items, you should be able to find them at specialty produce stores, even Whole Foods Markets, in big cities like Chicago. We prefer to emphasize local product anyway, because it captures the essence of the region and the season. Maybe if we ever branch out into condiments like sauces or jams, this will be easier!

I am wondering, if I live in Chicago and wanted to get some of your California produce incorporated into a dinner menu, can my local chef get that shipped from you? These look delicious!
