I am looking for ideas on what products should be produced locally. Not things that your area can do sn awesome job at and export. Rather things that should be locally produced near everyone.
Feel free to define “locally” as you wish. I am thinking with 5 miles, but with 200 is also good.
Please include your reasoning. Everything from shipping costs, to ownership “punch-ability” are great.
I will kick things off in the comments.
I have found there are some local potters making things in Minnesota at a middle scale. I have not checked if all my plates could come from them (I am not in the market for new ceramics.)
This is a great idea as they can last decades, so the cost matters less.
