near the entrance of my local loblaws-type grocery store, someone wrote on a wall

they fixed the price of bread

every time I go there it catches my eye. it is the context in which I do my shopping and when things costs too much i am reminded of the general thievery going on.

    Find a locally-owned bakery. Make a point of giving them your business, even if the loaves cost slightly more. It will taste better and be healthier for you.

    Find local farmers who sell hamper subscriptions; baskets of fresh produce. Some even have greenhouses to keep producing through the winter seasons. If you have a service they value in exchange, barter with them.

    My wife’s a teacher and one family has given us amazing bundles of carrots, greens, eggs, all through the winter in partial payment for teaching their kids. It’s a wonderful thing.

    The day local food producers throw in the towel is the day we all lose, so make sure they never go away!

        That is sad to hear :(

        The farmer that we get our hamper from grows such amazing stuff. Can’t get such quality at the supermarket. Well, I hope you at least can grow amazing food for yourself!
