Full Circle Farm

This week I'm going to focus on comparisons. Full circle farm to the farmer's market to QFC to Trader Joe's. Tonight I will start with Full Circle.

Fuji Apples, Earth Conscious Organics, Brewster, WA - 206 mi.
Bunched Carrots, Lakeside Organic Gardens, Watsonville, CA - 741 mi.
D'anjou Pears, Nicholson's Orchard Fresh, Peshastin, WA - 128 mi.
Green Bell Peppers Siri and Sons, Clackamas, WA- 183 mi.
Dapple Dandy Pluots, Okanogan Producers, Okanogon, WA - 232 mi.
Red Flame Grapes, Delano Farms, Delano, CA - 833 mi.
Romaine Lettuce, Lakeside Organic Gardens, Watsonville, CA - 741 mi.
Spinach, Full Circle Farm, Carnation, WA - 29.5 mi.

I'd like to calculate price as well but it's a little difficult because I buy it by the box. But other sources will be easier to compare.
For all of this plus celery, red onions, delicata squash and Yukon gold potatoes I pay $32. If I were to divide it up evenly per piece of produce (I know all produce is not priced equally) it would be about $1.17 per piece of produce.
