We support our local farmers here; Safeway? What’s that?
It’s a Regional Grocery store.
We don’t have “farm to market local farmers” around us. We never see roadside fruit stands or roadside farmers markets. All we see is farmers growing huge crops of ethanol corn, feed corn, peanuts and hay. Every once in a while a farmer may grow onions or “greens”. To buy an ear of corn at the store is 50 to 75 cents an ear.
We support our local farmers too. There are many farm stands here and of course the Farmers’ Market too. Some of those farmers also sell to City Market and Safeway so it all works out. But shopping at the stands and talking to the farmers is more fun than the big grocery stores. We do still need the big grocery stores for a lot of items the farms can’t provide however.
