When my parents were youngsters, vegetables were obtained by crossing over to Jersey and loading up while cruising down Route 35. Farm stalls everywhere.
I went to a library book sale with my mom last year and paid 25 cents per bag. Big paper grocery bag. She said it was just like buying veggies on the way down the shore.
From Dad’s people, the vegetables were delivered right to his door by relatives who had more than they could sell. Free chow all season long.
Compare to today’s supermarket prices. :(
If the media and the Dems continue to cause panic and refuse to let people earn a living, all hell will break loose...soon.
We’re doing SO well here in the Batangas Jungle that we have yet to start looking for lizards and snakes, even. And FOR SURE the dogs and cats are safe for the foreseeable future
When my husband was growing up in Arkansas a local farmer would deliver eggs to his mother. He would open up the kitchen door and put a carton of eggs on the kitchen table.
Maybe we should go to the farms and buy. You go to wallyworld and the shelves are empty, except in the automotive section.
One great thing about here in Northern California- I can eat, and eat very well, almost entirely locally.
bmp for later
South Mountain Creamery really is an awesome destination. The ice cream is great, and you can take the kids into the barns to see the chickens and up to the fences to pat the cows.
Of course they rotate the crops, but one year I was driving by the huge, hillside field to the right of the dairy store, and they had planted its many acres with clover, which was in full, raspberry-colored bloom at that moment. How I wish I had not been late for a meeting and could have photographed it.
She's also going to find out, just like the local farmers are learning, that democrats refusing to open their economy for business will muck up the supply chain in such a way that recovery becomes impossible.
South Mountain Creamery has the BEST liquid blueberry yogurt. I could drink a bottle now......may have to run over there tomorrow.
