Those farmers don’t advertise-they are too small, so it is all by word of mouth-and they only sell/barter to the people they know or who are referred by people they know. One neighbor who keeps a few beehives only barters her honey, and never takes cash.

Do you live near a rural area, or know someone who does? That is the way to get into that loop. I barter my home baked bread and fresh herbs to neighbors most winters, but I would not do that with outsiders-I can’t produce enough.

We’ve always joked about going galt out here, but it is not as funny as it used to be...
