Support comes in many forms!

You most likely buy their produce or products, seeds and bulbs, you make things with the products like bread or meals, some will help in the fields, some stores and grocery stores sell their products, inventors create new helpful machinery to help, businesses and schools purchase to feed others, and more! It is all a cycle.

Local farmers help our communities and country. think about the cycle of it all and who they help, feed, etc etc.

Don't just think big, think small farmers as well. Some just have a herd of cattle, or a strawberry farm. Buy buying local, you help support their growth and not foreigners.

Even just your support or even spreading by word of mouth a local farm that sells a tasty fruit or vegetable, flower or seed, can he helping!!!

I think she’s concerned about their spraying pesticides on the fields. Probably not good to eat it.

Thank you for responding Kris. You make very good points and observations that I agree with. Our City used to have what we called "First Fridays". It was the first friday of every month where small local farmers would bring their produce and other goods to the courthouse square to sell from booths. That is now a thing of the past. Permits became so high that they couldn't afford them. There were only a handful of small farmers to begin with. We are surrounded with big Agriculture here. It's really all my State is known for besides big Pharma and major Colleges that push both Big Ag, and Big Pharma. I've traveled most of this Country and in other States, mainly further South and West, you do see more of a balanced number of small farms in amongst the big. Not here. Farm land is at a premium and the big farms snap it up as soon as the small ones are ran into the ground. As an example of how cut throat it is...When a farmer dies, they go to the funeral to solicit the widow for a buy out.
