I guess I was thinking more along the lines of "... I have extra lettuce and basil and will be passing thru Keaau on Wed..." kind of thing. I agree that trading with your neighbors is the ideal, and it often works in real life, too. ;-)
One advantage to swapping further afield is the different crops at different elevations and micro-climates. Yes, driving for 18 miles for a half dozen avos would be silly. However, combining errands on a trip makes sense.
