> Fresh vegetables, meat and dairy from nearby farms.

You'd think so, but I've found so many bad fruits and vegetables at Safeway and Whole Foods in Redwood City that I've pretty much given up on getting my produce from there. Local family run markets like Sigona's and Draeger's are much better quality, even if they are a bit more expensive.

I'm not sure how the big supermarkets manage to screw up the relatively short supply chain from farms that are just a few hours away.
