FOOD VALUES
For years, many of us concerned about food security, have been urging everyone to buy from farmers as a first choice where possible and support them when ever you can. Goes without saying it's farmers using sustainable, ethical, preferably regenerative, farming practices...
Besides the benefits to the health of ourselves, animals and the planet, doing so would help ensure that we continued to have Australian grown food and not be dependent on other countries, especially if SOMETHING should happen that prevented us from importing food...
Well SOMETHING has happened folks!
This is now where the rubber meets the road.
With many countries having closed their borders and regardless of if Australia closes ours, we are almost completely dependent on farmers now for our food.
Currently restrictions allow us to shop at supermarkets or farmers markets keeping 'physical distancing' in mind. My choice is an open, outdoor farmers market than a contained supermarket, so our local farmers market is where I'll be this weekend buying my meat and a whole lot of duck from Tathra Place Free Range my veg from Rita's Farm and my dairy from Country Valley and Pepe Saya
