Local High-End Antioxidants?

[gaoptimize]

Hi,

The latest USDA ranking of antioxidants has some plants I've seen locally grown near the top of the list:

Does anyone have any common sumac (little furry red berries in torch-shaped bunches, not the smooth ones) or sorghum they could either sell me or let me pay to pick?

Thanks,
Tom

Those sumac berries are the original ingredient for pink lemonade, no lemons were used, sorghum is called milo when grown commercially. I know this isn't any help in finding them, just a small bit of trivia.
