This is about a movement.
And I already know some of you won’t care.
I’m the villain now. All because I say real food is worth the price.
But this isn’t about luxury.
This is:
A rising.
A return.
A revolt against the lies we’ve been sold and too many have bought.
We’ve been conditioned to believe that real food is too expensive.
That a $30 chicken is outrageous, while $30 on a restaurant plate or $15 at a fast food joint barely gets a raised eyebrow.
Costco throws out a $10 pre-cooked, plumped-up rotisserie chicken, which we call normal.
If price is your only metric? Then sure, Costco wins.
But if quality, nutrient density, and ethics matter?
It’s not even a contest.
Let’s talk about people who could afford better but have been completely cut off from where food comes from.
That was no accident.
That was policy.
That was Earl Butz and the bureaucrats before and after him.
And I loathe what they did.
They slaughtered decentralized, regenerative agriculture and replaced it with dependency on a few massive corporations who now own our food system.
If you don’t know the history of “get big or get out” then google it. 
So yeah, you can keep arguing about seed oils and Red 40.
But that’s a distraction.
I see the whole system.
And I pray you do too.
You know what’s actually expensive?
Sickness.
Medical bills.
Chronic disease that robs you of life, energy, and time.
That’s the real thief in the night, disguised as “convenient” and “affordable.”
So let’s talk.
If your first question is “How much does it cost?”
We need to back up.
Because when price becomes king, quality dies.
That’s how we ended up with tomatoes that taste like cardboard and strawberries bred for diesel-powered travel, not flavor.
That’s how we got addicted to cheap MSG enhanced, flavor-engineered, shelf-stable garbage.
At what cost?
Caged chickens by the tens of thousands.
Fields soaked in chemicals.
Soil stripped of minerals.
Food built for shelf life, not human life.
So let’s ask the better question:
Is local food more expensive or is it finally showing us the true value of food?
Because that “extra cost”?
It’s not an expense.
It’s an investment.
In your health.
In your local economy.
In a food system that still honors nature, season, and soil.
And the only dietary guideline that actually matters?
Local. Seasonal. Natural.
That’s it.
Not keto. Not vegan. Not carnivore.
Those are strategies.
This is principle.
Because food grown in your geography, under your sun, eaten in your terrain that’s the code.
That’s God’s design.
That’s what heals.
So yeah, there’s a difference between pastured chicken and Tyson even when the packaging says “local.”
And yeah, there’s a difference between California strawberries shipped on diesel and Arkansas berries picked in the dew.
When we chase cheap, we fund multinational corporations not our neighbors.
We destroy biodiversity.
We invite disease.
And then we treat the fallout with chemicals—because we’ve forgotten how to work with nature instead of against it.
Nature is diverse.
God’s creation is diverse.
There was never just zebra in the Serengeti or just bison on the plains.
And yet we’ve thrown that away for “everyday low prices.”
It’s not just short-sighted, it’s a vote.
With your wallet.
For a system colluding with Big Ag, Big Pharma, and Big Money to keep you sick and dependent.
Not here.
We don’t play that game.
I don’t price based on Walmart or other markets.
I price based on mission:
• What does the farmer need to survive and thrive?
• What does the market need to run and support our team?
• What price makes sense for the customer who wants healing, not hype?
Yes, cost matters.
But it’s one piece of a bigger story.
And here’s a fun fact:
We haven’t raised egg prices in three years.
Not because of politics.
Not because of inflation.
Because doing things right brings stability.
And does it really cost more…
If your health improves?
If you gain back time and energy?
If your community becomes resilient instead of fragile?
I hear it all the time:
People eat less.
They feel better.
They feel full because real food satisfies.
So what’s that worth?
When you shop local, you’re not just buying food.
You’re paying the electric bill for a dairy.
You’re helping a berry grower keep their land.
You’re investing in bakers, canners, foragers, and farmers who are preserving a food system built on integrity.
That’s what we call Sowing Prosperity.
Local families.
Local farms.
Local freedom.
They’ll call it radical.
They’ll say it’s elitist.
They’ll say it’s unrealistic.
The real conspiracy?
Health sacrificed for margins.
Farmers replaced by monopolies.
Food reduced to lifeless filler.
You don’t have to buy it literally or figuratively.
Start where you can.
Buy a local eggs.
Grow a garden.
Have a conversation.
Refuse to kneel at the altar of “cheap.”
Because this isn’t just about food.
It’s a revolt.
And if you’re still reading?
You’re already part of it.
We’re not racing to the bottom.
We’re building something that lasts.
And you yes, you are the fire that the spark lit.
Thank you. ❤️
