#Local Farmer Stores

[caluski]

A sweet wonderful thing about getting up early is that when it's the afternoon, it feels like the day's been going on for forever. Feels like you've had so much done. And when the sunset finally comes, it feels so... deserved. And it's such a relief to know the time for rest is so soon. How satisfying. Bedtime can't come soon enough. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and do more things. I think I'll finally go get hazelnut syrup tomorrow! Among the other stuff I need to do. It's gonna be great.

#I haven't had hazelnut coffee in what feels like forever. #But for now... Job offers time again. Eueughhh. Someone hold my hand. I hate indeed I hate olx I hate jooble I hate my local site #Actually I don't hate my local site. I love checking out the business tab so I know if there's new stores opening up. I love that #Also the local events. God I'm so sad I couldn't attend much over the summer. So many fun events! #But now I'm so looking forward to the jarmark świąteczny at farmers market. God I'm so excited for that #I cannot CANNOT wait to buy some local wine and syrups and cheese and handmade decor #God God god!!!!!! I NEED to find a job by then for real so I can have the money to spend #pogaduchy

what i thought i signed up for getting stardew valley: farming and resource game, dating sim, horror undertones (caves, fish, etc)

what i got: getting emotionally attached to a small town life being encroached upon Big Corporation(tm) and its idiosyncratic residents with their backstories

#MAN growing up rural all my life ive LIVED this #main difference i didnt farm or fish but i knew ppl in my community who did #we had a blacksmith and various kinds of farmers and a local greenhouse and a woodworker chainsaw artist #and a fashionista who had a small vintage/thrift shop #the mayor would pay for everyone whenever he visited the local cafe (we were a dry county / no bars) #we're landlocked so no fishing.... #but theres a local ruin and the national park #we had a tiny ass library #the national park / rangers office had cool shit just like gunther wtf !!! #OUR GROCERY STORE CLOSED DOWN #it closed down EXACTLY because a dollar store chain moved in !! #and then the dollar stoer chain couldnt keep up with the demand #so the gas station had to sell milk and eggs and basic groceries but it Still wasnt enough #so our community got together and sold their own produce milk eggs etc #and raised enough money to bring the grocery store back

Oh my god when I get my car I'll be able to buy groceries in bulk

#I'm so excited to buy groceries!!!! i wont be biking or walking half a mile with full bags!!! in near 100 degree heat!!! #i can get to discount stores and the farmer's market without the buses and the hour long waits.... #i could actually get things from the local walmart without it being a hassle.. i need a new filter for my humidifier and can get that!!! #I'm gonna drive to walmart by myself and wander the isles like a lost soul and i will be giddy the entire time #my parents preferred grocery shopping without anyone else to slow them down + me shopping now is time limited by the bus #going shopping is gonna be strangely liberating and I'm so excited for it skjdksd #shai speaks

You wanna know what is a far better option than being vegan to help out animal welfare and being environmentally friendly?

Buy local.

#i mean #i live in an extremely remote place #so its easier for me because thats just how life is here #but 90% of my food and products are locally sorced #even the feed for my horses comes from just down the road and i cut and bale my own hay #i raise some of my own meat animals and the ones i dont come from the neighbor #most veggies i grow or forage myself and if I don't have it i can run to the farmers market on Saturdays for fresh or canned #idk #thats just my thoughts on things #but then again this has just been how ive grown up and is the standard life around here #i remember as a kid you kust have been rich of you could afford to drive to the city to go shopping there #so its always been the opposite case here where store bought things were FAR MORE expensive than homegrown or local

#i miss my old home #i have so many nice things here #a nice apartment #starting to get paid real money for work i love to do #but GOD i miss being able to go on walks #and liking my town #and i miss the stores and the local food #i miss the farmers market #i miss how that place made me feel #personal #anyways

also I want to the local farmers market AND the independent weekend market this week and spent more on produce that I would at a grocery store so I literally have no idea what people mean when they say shits cheaper locally. like I fucking WISH.

edit: I recognize this is likely a by-product of living in a small tourist town but it's still Fucking Annoying to have the answer to "big chains are charging 3x the prices they were in whatever recent year" be "shop local and go the farmers market!"

and when some people are like "that's not an option for me" they get people saying they're not... what ? trying hard enough? like, come on now!!

also like I can't eat red meat. the only options there were beef and pork or eggs. I can eat eggs. but also the eggs cost THE SAME DAMN AMOUNT. AS THEY DO IN STORE???? COME ON GUYS.

#like some stuff is but then vegtables are the same price or more. #pretty much across the board!! #the only thing i got that was under 5$ was some lilac branches. which i cant even buy in a store and the kady #very kindly gave me 3 for 1$ instead of 3 for 3$ lol #also like 20x more stress inducing than just. going to the grocery store. and i felt pressured to buy what i did buy whenever id linger too #long in front of someones stand 🧍‍♂️ like. where are you guys getting cheap vegtables. what farmers market and local grocery store are you #going to where you spend less than you would at a regular store. like going was okay #except im stressed out by crowds and like. everything about them. otherwise it would have been fun and fine LMFAO 😭 #mother fucker wanted 6$ for three of the most pathetic bok choy ive ever seen. dude i pay like 4$ for 6 baby bok choy at a store #sorry!!!! #the kale was a decent price but only bcus the only place i can find bushles of kale is a local store that charges like. 8$ for a bundle. #there was 2 dozen for 4.50 but i have eggs right now and thats way too many to buy when i have over a dozen to get through still #any way.

Man we boycott Starbucks like biannually, at this point can we please just shut them down permanently instead of boycotting for two weeks then going back to it? Seriously I see a post about Starbucks and it's something new every damn time like...you guys. Do you not fucking see it oh my fucking god.

#starbucks #starbucks boycott #Like “Great NOW what'd they do” come on guys the call is coming from inside the house #Even if they weren’t shit we still need to show more support for local businesses as opposed to chains #Now I am not saying only shop at farmers markets and get your hair cut at your unlicensed neighbour's #I'm just saying show more support. If you need coffee and a chain is the best you can do then go for it #But if there's a local shop RIGHT THERE that is cheaper and tastes better then go there #I am saying this as someone whose all time favourite store is literally Kroger. I do not have stones to throw. #But as a whole I think we can do better.

reading environmental science books can be incredibly frustrating, because even when theyre written by professionals who actually know what theyre talking about, who are clearly passionate about their work and about the world, and know the steps needed to reverse the climate crisis, they are almost never radicals.

like they spend an entire book meticulously breaking down the importance of ecological stability, laying out the arguments that work for people who care, and for those who are only worried about money, putting together plans of action that require national and international action

and then at the end they go "and people should eat less meat and use paper straws :)" no!!!

for one thing "people need to-" is not an actionable plan. the people will not. it is not like policy or initiatives where, if you can convince the right people, you can make sonething happen. you cannot just change the habits if the entire world.

secondly, this fails to take into account the corporate interests in the situation. in massive national and international goods production such as the meat industry, supply and demand are no longer connected. it doesnt matter how many people stop buying meat, if the government is going to continue to subsidize its production and make up for any potential losses. and the government isnt going to stop doing that, because the meat industry spends millions of dollars on lobbying and directly enriches congressmembers. this is not something where you can simply speak to the secretary of agriculture and force a change.

and finally, all these books seem convinced that it is the Fact of, in this case, cattle farming, and not the How that is the issue. wild bison roamed the (not yet) american west in numbers equivalent to the current population of beef cattle, but their grazing and methane production were not blights upon the environment. it is the cultivation of monoculture turf fields, the use of pesticides, fungicides, and antibiotics, and the feeding of corn and other low quality scrap food that produces the problems associated with modern cattle farming. there are already some ranchers making strides toward more sustainable methods, and it's a growing movement!

what I mean by all this is, the scientists who write these books, who are clearly intelligent and mindful of their subjects, all seem deathly reluctant to challenge the overall economic and social system under which we live. they have no issue pointing out the flaws in our personal habits, our laws, and our philosophical connection with nature, but never seem to take the final step and say that the very system that created it all is in the wrong.

and I dont think it's a matter of trying to keep their goals realistic either. advocating for the complete dismantling of the cattle industry, or noninterference protections for a third of the oceans, or a comprehensive and enforced global climate initiative are about as likely to happen in the next decade as america becoming a socialist nation.

#'we already make enough food for 10 billion people so people should stop wasting the food they buy at the grocery store :)' #no!!!! corporations should stop yhrowing out perfectly usable food by the millions of tons because if it wont make them a profit #then they wont allow anyone else to have it either!! #the government should stop paying industrial farmers to theow out produce because they made more than they were able to sell!! #we should stop unnecessarily shipping foods all around the globe simply so we can say they came from an exoti locale #or so it could be produced by criminally cheap labour when it could just as easily be grown locally!! #fuck!!! #science #environment

well on saturday I made my oatmeal with ginger and cinnamon and the Saskatoon berries that I picked with friends after work on friday. I walked to the farmer's market to drop off my compost and bought my apples for the week from my apple guy and my bok choy from my bok choy lady. my partner reminded me that we were out so I refilled our laundry powder and shampoo at the zero waste shop before I walked to the local soap maker to get more bar soap. the woman who owned the store talked to me about my time in idaho and alaska and we talked about how much we hate the proud boys and how excited we are for the pride event happening this friday. and then I walked home :-)

#listen #i really like where i'm living #the climbing gym i go to was closed today and i didn't find out till i went to book a time slot #but it was okay because i went on an ~30 mile bike ride to make up for it #i wish i could buy more of my produce from the farmers market but it is spendy lol #there are a couple things like the apples i get and the bok choy that are the same price as the local store so i make sure to grab those #the apples are so much better from the market #i did almost buy some very spendy strawberries #but my partner and i already agreed to just wait and go to a you pick farm soon #personal

This week was bad and terrible and evil but I had a homemade, freshly cooked empanada at the market today so I feel better now because handmade food is actually a magic spell

#crow rambles #posting about the farmers market again #I love the little French patisserie but there’s so many other good little food stalls #there’s a new tamale stand that I hope is back next week to try #plus the local taco place has a stall but she’s usually really busy so I prefer her store #the cheese people also recognize me because I’m very almost weekly #listen I just love cheese

A historic community with a public square or park at the center where they occasionally host a farmers market or arts fair or something else of the like that has a streetcar running through it and you can walk everywhere and there are several corner stores and a locally owned coffee shop down the street from the park
