Very nicely put, @garden-to-eat. Right on the money

We need to become less reliant on commercial agriculture and more self sufficient.
Absolutely! We have our own best interest in mind when we grow our own food, not to mention our friends, family, & neighbors.

Commercial growing is essential for us to sustain life, but it tends to be quite different; small scale farms compared to large scale operations are vastly different with different products. With more local produce growers selling to market - the market (all of us) win. Better prices, better products for consumers. If we generate an abundance of healthy food, help others to generate a profit from their valuable skills - we have won! Let's bring the power back into the hands of the consumer. Glad to have made your acquaintance @garden-to-eat and I look forward to growin' together 🌱🍅😉
