Without getting lost in the details, I wish OP success.

To dwell in the details, a common definition for locavores is a 100 mile radius to be considered 'local.' As the Vermont border is less than 40 miles from Weirs (and some of New York is even within that 100 mile distance), it can easily be argued that this one ingredient is "local."
The 110th U.S. Congress defined local food products as (paraphrased) 1. transported less than 400mi. from origin OR 2. within the State.
