Gedney State Fair Prize Winning Preserves
Gedney Pickles
Wild rice (lake grown and hand parched)
Walleye Pike
Smallmouth Bass

In central Arizona...

Oranges
Lemons
Grapefruit
Dates
Pecans

Corn and cantaloupe are excellent, but don't think they make it out of the
state.

I'm sad to say, the only thing I can think of that Michigan is known for
is Cherries and Apples. And Mackinac Island Fudge, heh!
I'm sure there ar emore, though :>

I can't vouch for corn, but my dad owned a grocery store in
Massachusetts in the 50s and 60s and he swore by AZ cantaloupes.

I never knew they travelled that far. I buy them locally at a farm market
near my home. They are huge! Almost the size of a basketball.

also:

apples
lentils (and other fine grains from the Palouse)
microbrews
and of course, wine

I read recently that this state is now the second biggest wine producer
in the US (I assume CA is #1). CJ and I don't have the budget to buy a
lot of high end bottles. But we have found a number of WA wines that
are quite tasty, while still meeting the under-10-bucks-per-bottle limit
that we usually impose on ourselves. In particular, I like the Reisling
and Gewurz from St. Michelle.

I've enjoyed their champagne on occasion.

And from Southcentral Alaska: salmon, halibut, raspberries,
blueberries (soon, very soon), and moose (if you like that). Sourdough
pancakes (and sourdough bread. Both best served at The Bake Shop in
Girdwood). Cornfritters (often found at the markets and fairs with
beer batter halibut). *Giant* vegetables at the fair (although I've
been told that once they get that big, they're not worth eating).

Yo Wayne,

Ever visit the Guadalupe Farmer's market? (Guadalupe and Priest)

Definitely better than any produce aisle's I've seen around here,
friendly cashier (only one employee in the place.) Not to mention
two extremely fine lookin friendly ladies that needed some assistance
with selecting some produce. (GRIN!!!)

Prices were good as well, lots of Organically grown stuff if you so
desired.

Where is the market your speaking of?

I forgot (for shame, for shame) microbrews. Alaskan Amber and anything
from the Midnight Sun brewery. Jams and jellies made with regional
berries (salmonberries, blueberries, raspberries, rose hips, etc) from
Alaskan Wildberry Products.
