It draws on two themes in the geo- graphical literature on local food, which focus on territorial and prox- imity definitions on one hand and on relationality on the other. Through GIS analysis, this paper explores spatial patterns of ninety-one farmers’ markets in Los Angeles County, California, USA; spatial patterns of 282 farms that supplied a sample of thirty-three markets; and intra-urban patterns of those supply chains. The results show an uneven geography of farms across California that supplied the sampled markets, but also show that farms travel just as far to markets in working-class neighborhoods as to wealthier neighborhoods. Conclusions explain how integrating territorial and relational conceptions of local food provide insights into the complex spatiality of production and consumption, and how local food can be understood as an interdependence between places. Key Words: spatial analysis, relational place, local food Introduction The question “where does your food come from?” is by now a main- stay in much of the popular discourse around local food. It is invoked as a prelude to numerous themes among diverse advocacy groups from sus- tainability to education, among others. This paper emerged in part from a puzzle that the where in this question is often defined in multiple ways. In a strict sense of spatial proximity, those in the locavore movement aim to constrain their food purchases by setting the maximum distance from which that food has traveled (Dunne et al. 2011). Others, however, want to know how and by whom their food was made when they ask where it comes from (Schnell 2013). The website seedmap.org also poses the question to stress the importance of knowing the evolutionary, not spatial, origins of food crops. Science policy and education advocates also simply want people to know that food comes from farms (sciencenetlinks.com). For many people, it is important to teach others not only to answer the question, but also to ask The California Geographer 58, © 2019 by The California Geographical Society the question in the first place (Guthman 2008). Clearly, there are multiple patterns to farmers’ market supply chains—in other words, are there spatial meanings to this geographical concept of where when it comes to local patterns that differentiate the supply networks between markets in different food. This paper takes a spatial perspective on this question by examining types of neighborhoods? The project is driven by a theoretical approach the connections between farms and farmers’ markets through Geographic that understands place as relationally viewed through connections to other Information Systems
