Buy directly from farmers?
These prices are crazy! I want to buy directly from Kamloops area farmers. It will cut out the middle man and the food will be locally produced, supporting the local economy.
The farmers get ripped off at the Farmers Market...... the City charges them to set up a table, they have to pay for parking, they have to load and unload produce (which takes man hours and leads to spoilage, which in turn increases prices for consumers). Its silly.
What happened to the U-pick farms? Is there a way to start a local farm directory that we can all use to buy direct from local farmers? Im not technological.... but there are people who are. We could all benefit from an app that connects farmers with consumers.... and whoever develops such an app would likely do very well!
"Farm to table" they say.....
Why are we paying $23.13/kg for lean ground beef thats been shipped across the country for 12 days and stored/processed for another 10?!
Bring back U-pick farms!
(Just saying. My rant for the day following a trip to Sarah's YIG)
