If You Want More Local Food, Stop Criminalizing Family Farmers

16. The three chain grocery stores around here DO sell local produce when it's available....

saves us the time running around to all the farmstands. Wal-Mart, Target, and BJ's don't, though, and not many people food shop in those places anyway.

But, it's kinda tough finding any fresh local lettuce, carrots, or blueberries around here in January.

Food inspections? Take it up with those asshole legislators who keep cutting back on th inspection budgets.

(FWIW, a while back I talked to one of the few remaining Long Island Duck producers here on Long Island and he told me I can't get a fresh duck unless I'm lucky enough to be there when the inspector is there-- he can't slaughter without an inspector present. The large slaughterhouses have full-time inspectors.)
