Buying Local....Is it really Organic or Green?

I have been struggling with this issue for the last few weeks.  I live in Las Vegas and we have a Farmers Market, if you can call it that, a few days a week.  I was looking to buy some strawberries and asked if they were organic [0], the response I got left me feeling that while I was doing my part in buying local (they come from California), I was not sure I was living up to my buying organic for the Dirty Dozen.

I must admit, I did not buy the Strawberries and went straight to my local Whole Foods. 

 So my quandry is do I continue to frequent this so called Farmer's Market, where the produce comes from UT or CA, several hours away or continue to shop at Whole Foods and Trader Joes.

 Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
