This is the time of yesr when the fatmers are waiting for fall planting. Locally the heat and bugs are just terrible and few veggies would be available. I do think most is not grown locally. But really what is considered "locally"? I do like the florida melons and summer corn. Beyond southern Georgia most veggies are grown in California.
