Definition wise, I dunno. But logistic wise, most of your corporate farms aren't at farmer's markets, working one-on-one with local grocers, reaching out to schools to provide small supplies of local fresh food, etc. They may be working with grocery stores and schools, but it's on the large scale. And most often they're doing it through some kind of large scale distribution company, so they aren't directly engaging those businesses.

In other words, you wouldn't know if they were locally sourced or not.
