If it's sent shipped cross-continent(s) it might be.

The point of fresh to me is to have it come from closer sources, even if it's in a worse shape, and be consumed basically in a day or two.

For anyone caring enough, getting access to local(ish) fresh food can be a pretty good indicator of a nice place to live, and it's usually worth the tradeoffs.

I have access to fresh veggies by taking the elevator down and out of my apartment building. There's a fresh groceries store right in front if i want a salad.

But I have no problem with grabbing a bag of frozen veggie mix to make borsch.
