As small farmers/producers we ALL have different ways of doing things. That is what makes us all unique. No one way is better than another. Just because we may do something different, doesn't make it perfect for someone else or their specific situation.
Learning and being flexible should be part of every small farmers world, no matter how much you know, there is always something more to learn.
Another important part of a small farming community is supporting eachother. We are all in this together and there is room for all of us! Social media is obviously one of the best ways for a small farmer/business to get known. However, seems like it is also a way to critique, be critical and exert personal opinions where it is usually not needed or wanted. Why can't people just be kind, supportive and generally good? Why do some feel like they have to build themselves up, while breaking you down? Leave your negative, nasty, unproductive comments to yourself. The old saying, if you don't have anything nice to say.....
Your way may not be our way and that is ok! Keep scrolling, don't feel like a comment is needed to make yourself feel better. There is room for us all and so much to learn from eachother. Be a teacher and a learners not a know it all and criticizer.
