Honestly, I thought we'd do better.

If they looked at cities - or on restaurants within cities - we'd likely do better, but the "index" isn't made for this state:

The 2014 Locavore Index incorporates four measures for which current data is available for all states: the number of farmers markets, the number of consumer-supported agriculture operations (CSAs), the number of food hubs — all compared on a per-capita basis — plus the percentage of each state’s school districts with active Farm-to-School programs. But more data on local foods should be gathered, Strolling of the Heifers says.

Andrew, thanks for reading the fine print, so I didn't have to. :oops:
