Research about how our the Olympic Peninsula food economy works and how few products and dollars in that economy stay local.  Some trends:
    There are 662 family farms on the Peninsula
    The average size is 56 acres
    76% of those farms sell less than $10,000 per year
    Only 7% sell more than $100,000 per year
    Of the $278M we locally spend on food annually, $270M (or 97%) leaves the area
