Local food or not?

I bought a few items at Whole Foods:

Grindstone Bakery is a small artisan bakery, 10 minutes south of me in Santa Rosa, with a label that says they use a wood fired brick oven. I can email "Mario", who's email address is on the label and ask I guess. They produce an organic and sourdough 100% Rye Bread that tastes just like it does in the "old country". A type of bread that is a staple food in Scandinavia or Eastern Europe. Grindstone Bakery got this right, look at this short ingredients list: Whole Rye Flour, Purified Water, Rye Starter, Caraway Seeds, Sea Salt. That's it.
A Finn, Estonian, Russian etc, can't complain. It was actually a challenge to find real rye bread here in the Bay Area, but if you look long enough, (and at lower shelves), you can find just about anything. A loaf was $5.29 and worth every single penny.

Niman Ranch is a "quality label" I think. I was looking out for their beef/pork products. I stumbled on their sausages and bought a 4-pack of Bratwurst and Chorizo. So today at lunch, the Bratwurst "disappeared" I really enjoyed every bite and it was nice together with sauerkraut and a dollop of mustard. Niman Ranch is an Oakland CA label, but admittedly the pork products may not come from here, they include family farms from Iowa and Minnesota as well. Raised with care. No nitrates added, no antibiotics, no hormones, no artificial ingredients.

Heinkes Family Farm, Paradise California - organic Concord Grapes. This was actually a surprise. This North-American variety of grape is very unusual as a table grape. Instead, this grape disappears into grape jelly and juice. It has a very different flavor than your available-everywhere, Thompson Seedless aka Sultana grape. It leaves a deep purple color and tastes like that familiar american Welch's grape-jam, I recall from toast-and-jelly from hotel breakfasts. It contains seeds and the skin is "floppy". Thus, probably a difficult sell to people who are used to Thomson grapes. A tiny sized farm probably.

Lastly, I think I failed again, to pick up a local goat or sheep Feta Cheese. Marin Cheese Company offered I thought both varieties, but I'm now sure its simply repackaged product from "somewhere". Do they even make any cheese or have a website? I want Feta cheese in my Greek salad. The most common "Feta" in stores is Athenos, a Cow-milk based cheese from Wisconsin, that's not what I want. No offense to Wisconsin cheese-makers per se. The above company name was ridiculously close to a local artisan-cheese vendor: Marin French Cheese Company, who's cheeses I'm grabbing very soon.
I do understand that "buying local" can really be difficult. (But, at least I'm having a blast trying...) Here's an interesting blog entry on the subject. (My goat Feta cheese is perhaps from France.)
