The people in Boston were essentially cut off from supplies due to British Navy crackdown in reaction to the Boston Tea Party, passed by Parliament as part of the Coercive Acts. The harbor was closed to incoming or outgoing traffic, and the only way to bring food in or out was by land. People used their own wagons, horses, and carts to bring food to Boston from as far away as North and South Carolina. Those who live in more free states may need to prepare for this type of action to help our less free patriots.

I'm lucky to live in the Midwest with a lot of farming communities around. But the winters can get pretty tough without a lot of fresh produce. Still, any city or town with a farmer's market can use the market to make friends, make connections with farmers . . . who knows, it may pay off when the SHTF.
We Free State Floridians can surely barter with you, you could trade grain for fresh fruit?
