Whatever the soil will produce in season at your locale is what is grown locally in your area. Here in North Georgia and southward, we have produce all year long. Spring and fall are the cool weather crops and hanger-ons from the previous season. Summer is for squash, beans, tomatoes, and speciality crops. Winter is for greens, onions, turnips and salads. Whatever I can grow in my garden and sell at my local restaurant/grocery/farmer's market is locally grown for this area.
In the late spring, summer, and part of autumn, locally grown produce can be found at farmers markets and local produce stands, The variety varies from one to another, but at farmers markets, it would all be grown locally, though it would not all be organically grown. Produce stands vary on where they get their produce, so you would need to ask if it is grown locally.
