RE: Is Organic fresh food the best way to heal?
I feel like the best tactic these days for small farmer is to have a relationship with their customer base. It seems like CSAs (community supported agriculture: https://www.localharvest.org/csa/) were very popular for awhile in large trendy cities but I am unsure if they lost their appeal or some of the farmers retired. If the farmer can remove the middle man and just sell directly to the consumer then there is a potential for the community as a whole to benefit greatly.
Good luck @rivermeadefarm!
I agree with you. Farmers markets are the easiest place to get to know a farmer. You are right a lot of farmers are retiring. I think now is the time to have a shift in thinking about fresh local products. Land is available, you just have to chase it. Thanks for the post
