You have just described how we can fix America and its food. People buying from and supporting people in their community. Thank you. Your work is more important than you might think.
I’m one of those farmers, supporting five families ,helping neighbors ,while still contributing to the local Farmers Markets. We teach many techniques of old fashion gardening , small space planting, and offer (via local social media ) what’s extra for trade ,fix my car/tractor/radio for an exchange . Buying local and supporting the community -whatever the needs -makes tighter bonds and added safety for the aged and disabled. It doesn’t take care of everything but covers many small endeavors especially in remote areas. We’re not fancy but frugal and friendly. It’s a long ways to ‘go shop’ here so many often post and say ‘I’m headed to town- need a ride/pick something up for you/drop off something? ‘ saves miles ,gas, wear and tear, and even ltime!
It’s a way of life from yesteryear becoming familiar again. A lot is changing, voices are needed, ideas can be creative, not sure my tiny voice will change much but together WE work miracles.🫶
