“…what drives people out of rural regions is not the lure of city life per se, but the lack of opportunity to improve their situation where they live.”

Very timely and important commentary that should have wider audience. This and other points in the article have been issues for decades in the US. Local farming communities don’t have support from their governments and even the science and research institutions.

I hope everyone had a good weekend! It was so nice to get off the computer and go blueberry picking this weekend. Everyone is always so happy when they are picking blueberries. It was very heartwarming to overhear children in neighbouring rows gossiping about all the pies they were going to make and a group from a local business talking about jams and cakes. It seems we all should do more of this type of thing 😊

@8bitpal That's great! Some years ago, a friend set herself a challenge to eat only domestically produced food (Finland). It's a great way to be conscious of what you are eating and where it comes from.

After just checking ingredients, then one can see how far down the rabbit hole to go with issues like imported feed fed to the dairy cows, sources of fertiser used in the fields, etc.

What was suppose to be a quick morning trip to the blueberry apiary to pick a few buckets of berries and support our local farm turned into a 5 hour slog. It involved them not taking interact, out-of-order ATMs, massive road construction delays, long drive, more road construction delays, 2 trips across a small ferry and back.. But still, worth it to support local food producers. I'm hot and tired now, got nothing else done. Tea time. In future, I think I'm going to just use more cash.

One thing I like about local produce is that it is much more tangible for me.

It is not "a peach". It is "the peach that farmer [first name] grew, in his farm Over There (points at mountain)".

It allows me to exist in relationship with people and place.

A summer time treat! Caprese salad with a Cherokee purple tomato from a friend’s CSA and basil from my herb bed.
