In a greengrocer today, I say Purple Sprouting Broccoli for sale marked
"Local". How do they do that?

It's possible, but for US supermarkets at least "local" often means
"grown in the same hemisphere." I've gotten tired of being a
curmudgeon questioning produce managers. I *did* have an acquaintance
who used to flog semi-local apples to large grocery stores, but these
days it seems everything comes on the Big Truck. Ask the manager and
try not to look too unbelieving.
