Local farmers should get together and have a farmers market, or pick one week-end a month and open their farms to sales to the locals. They could still charge the same prices for their goods that they charge the bigger companies. If they helped the locals, when times get tough, the locals will help the farmers. It’s not a perfect system, but nothing is. I believe in working together to attain certain goals. Staying alive should be everyones goals...........regardless of what the government wants.
I am all for that. Matter of fact, I wouldn't mind paying them a little bit more than the wholesalers get.
It's a win/win situation. The farmers get more than they would getting robbed by the wholesalers and the customers would get fresher, better quality produce than they get from the stores.
