To everyone lined up outside the big box stores - why not line up next week outside your local farmer’s market, local meat and produce stand, or local family owned store? They need your business more than a big box retailer. I think those national chain stores are doing pretty well right now, don’t you?
While most people are hibernating, social distancing and watching Netflix, farmers are getting up early and going to work raising the food you’ll depend on in the weeks and months ahead. They’re putting in long hours to make sure your family is going to be ok with an abundance of fresh, nutritious food.
Your kids know their kids. They play ball together. You drive past their farms and fields every day. Ever thought about how important they are to all of us, especially right now?
You can spend your money to stock your shelves any way you want to. Your dollars, your decision. So, choose to stand in line or stand with your local farm families. They know how important their job is. Maybe you can show them that you know it too.
