Investigating Consumer Preference for Fresh Produce Using a Choice Experiment with Real Economic Incentives (2009, background): “Previous studies that focused on consumers’ choices at farmers’ markets in other states showed that today’s consumers support local farmers’ markets because they expect higher quality (for example, freshness and taste) and lower prices (Brown, 2002, 2003).”

Comparing Willingness to Pay for Organic, Natural, Locally Grown, and State Marketing Program Promoted Foods in the Mid-Atlantic Region (2011, background): “With Hu et al. (2010) suggesting that many consumers view “local” to mean within less than 100 miles, and Brown (2003) finding that in Missouri “local” was often viewed as a region smaller than the state’s border, “local” may seem more supportive of a consumer’s area than a state-wide promotion in…”
