I am 100% with you on this and belong to a farm-share community and seek to support my local small farmers and my community in growing food not lawns. I would love to donate to yu Raw Milk Mama but I will not use plastic card. Can I send you cash or silver somehow? That is all I am using at the moment. Otherwise I support you with thought and actions and send LOVE, Sharon
I'm often pleasantly surprised by the direct to consumer products that Oregon farmers can sell. Although, the local food banks are overwhelmed, we've actually seen a huge reduction in the cost of some goods such as pastured chicken eggs. Getting government out of the way is the key to increasing local food production, reducing food costs, and promoting voluntary charity over government subsidies and handouts.
Yes! Less bureaucratic intrusion is key to our food security!
I'm so glad to hear there are pockets where this type of sharing of resources is working as an example. Thanks for all you do to contribute to that Drew.
Awesome - I couldn't agree more. I love the writing of Wendell Berry, who sounded the alarm bell long ago, and Joel Salatin, who's been fighting for more local control all his life. I'd love to see more urban farmers like the one I interviewed earlier this year: https://www.brunettegardens.com/t/heru-urban-farming
Thanks for letting us know about this legislation!
Indeed. These are pivotal issues of our generation. Perhaps it is (past) time to highlight the important role that women play in our food security in our households and communities.

You have a thorough grasp of the issue Liz and make it easy for readers like me to have a better understanding of it. Thank you.
Thanks Paul! So glad you are able to understand the situation. It can be somewhat daunting at times to figure out how to write about it simply.
