Because those fuckers want to charge me six times as much as a grocery store for only a modest improvement in taste and freshness

>>14275983
Need a fuck ton of permits to sell directly to the public.

>>14276019
you must either live in nyc or bum fuck nowhere. i get fresh produce and chicken for the same price that they charge at heb.
>t. texan

>>14275983
I do but not as often because I'm still saving money to buy a house and I don't have room for a freezer. But if I have enough money you betcha I'd eat food grown and produced as closed to me as possible. Fuck eating bananas and mangoes!

>>14275983
Because I live in Guatemala

How u tools get raw milk, cheece, honey and fertilized eggs from? Im in leafland and its a fuckhard time to find

I live in Vegas and shit was not designed to live in 100+ degree weather.

>>14275983
>Why aren't you buying meat and vegetables from local farmers anons?

No where to put it my dude.

>>14275983
Because these assholes who can't get it local are the reason my local farmers (plenty) are making a profit selling it elsewhere, and local butchers or markets try to compete and it's a total shit show.

>>14275983
Why aren't you killing yourself, frogposter?

>>14276533
Complaining about frogposters is the most Reddit thing ever.
Go back to r/dankmemes or the Binging with Babish comment section you mouthbreather.

>>14276621
fuck you you Nazi piece of shit.

>>14276621
imagine caring about reddit vs 4chan in 2020. you might as well be arguing about Coke vs Pepsi.

Roughly 10-20% of the pics on 4chan are from reddit and vise versa. Who cares?

>>14275983
This is goat teir

Just meet people after your Sunday church service who are farmers or know a farmer. They sell wholesale to markets for pennies on the dollar. If you pay cash under the table, they'll load you up with more eggs, squash, tomatoes, okra, etc than you'll know what to do with. They usually only carry one item, so you'll need to know a few farmers to have a varied diet. For meats, wait for deer season and make friends with your local deer processing guy. Pay cash under the table and buy venison from his setup without ever having to hunt.

Food shouldn't be expensive, it's only is what it is now to feed all the normies in the cities and suburbs. They have to transport it, protect it, inspect it, and then pay people to organise it and load it into beautiful displays at the grocery store with a refrigeration and misty system. That is for normies. Get a cardboard box, go to your local farmer with $5. Keep in mind he's not doing this because you'll feed his family by giving him $5 once a month, he does it because he likes you or your friend that connected you to him so just be humble and not difficult.

People would distribute hundreds of eggs after church and we'd save all the egg cartons to reuse.

Also, pic related

Full of hippies

>>14277056
This can be done without much interaction either. Tell them to leave a carton of their veg, honey, or eggs on the front porch and you'll leave money hidden near the front door when you swing by tomorrow.

Cut out the middle man.

You gotta be kidding. There have only been two good frogposts. "Feels good man," and "doesn't feel good man." Redeye edits to imply drug use were also fine. Theteafter it went to shit and became a horrific cancer.

I bet OP doesnt even buy his jerky from the dude at the weekly swap meet selling it from his trunk.

>>14277068
hippies breathe oxygen as well. are you just going to not breathe for the rest of your life out of spite against the hippies?
fucking retard.

>>14277132
I bet you like to buy jerky from dudes. And swap meat. And you like his trunk too.

>>14276032
Same. The only attempts at price hikes are the gayshit hippie coops delivery subscription services that were started by SFtrannies.

>>14277211
I'm not buying their fucking food they use their own feces to fertalize, also no meat allowed

>>14275983
I do. They're cheaper and better than supermarkets. But then again I live in a (kind of shitty) country italian town, so I guess I'm lucky.

>>14277318
Do you often get the Sicialian message, sleeping with the fishes?

>>14277337
haha. No. I'm in Puglia

>>14275983
because they charge me twice as much as imports? only the eggs are reasonably price.

>>14277341
Good times.

>>14275983
I do.

It’s still hard to accept.

>not hunting your own food
>not growing your own vegetables

Besides buying local, you should grow something edible in your backyard. It's very satisfying and not that hard. Join the /hgm/ general in /out/.

>>14275983
>driving 50 miles to find a local farmer as opposed to driving 2 miles to the grocery store

how do I find them

>>14275983
why isn't it any cheaper to buy beef from a farmer? it's over $5/lb for a beef half near me. one of the meat distributors raised their ground beef by $2/lb over the last couple of months. bullshit COVID

>>14275983
I live in Australia so almost everything in the supermarket is Australian anyway.

>>14275983
Because they don't sell them where I shop

>>14275983
but I am though, why are you buying CAFO slime and glyphosate soaked GMO corn from flyover factory farms?

>>14278482
What a nightmare.

>>14276032
I'm moving to Texas next month hows the mexican food anon?

The meat is great here, but most of the local orchards/farms supplying produce have been bought by Pajeets with dirty money. Cherries are big here but not a single Canadian is involved in growing or picking them anymore.

>>14278466
Learn to read, use the yellow pages. You faggots have forgotten that skill.

>Anons who don't live in the city/suburbs...

>>14276019

Somehow cutting out the middle man (e.g. the superstore) makes the product cost more. Is this the fabled economy of scale I've been told about?

>>14275983
they're racist

>>14275983
Because the modern American is a fucking retard obsessed with “muh deals” and “muh low prices” so instead of supporting their local economies and rejecting the monstrosities that modern supermarkets have become, they’d rather get pandered to like the lowest common denominator that they are.

>>14278575
pretty good. i live in one of the big cities so there is always good food. ranges from really good tex mex to really good authentic stuff. you'll be fine.
>>14277479
that's horrible to hear anon. i hope his family is doing well and can support themselves.
>>14277312
fertilizing food crops with human excrement is against fda guidelines. most of the farmers i deal with are your blue collar american that most people these days are larping.
yesterday i picked up 3 pounds of ground beef, 2 dozen eggs, and some locally grown tobacco.

>Buy farmers market vegetables
>Costs the same as getting them from the grocery store
>Begins to go bad literally the next day because they sold most of their crop to a distributor and just brought whatever was left over to try to sell it before they toss it

>>14279273
>buying from farmer's markets
that's where you're going wrong anon. you have to buy from them directly in order to get the best deals and the freshest produce.

>>14275983
No. I’m not. I AM the local farmer. Recently I had a BBQ dinner with beef my family slaughtered in the farm and boar my brother shot

>>14279293
nice. i want to go hog hunting in the fall

>>14275983
because my local farmer would rather sell in large amounts to my supermarket so i have no other choice but to buy from the middle man.

>>14279293
Based hunter anon

>>14278674
that's what I'm talking about though.

>>14275983

>>14276032
Houston by any chance? I get eggs from family that raise chickens but that's it

>>14275983
I might get some raw milk from local farmer but probably not because it's 4x the price of store milk and 8 miles away and most likely wouldn't be a whole lot different.

>>14280276
I had an ex who's family would do this, except they'd buy an entire cow and keep it in a couple chest freezers in their garage. I don't know how much it cost, but it was always funny when I visited because every night was either grilled steak or grilled burgers.

>>14275983
FUCK FARMERS

I live in the South of Brazil, near the border with Argentina. We've got LOADS of ranchers who raise angus cattle, but they export almost all of it. We get NOTHING.

>>14280416
Maybe you should get a job

>>14280437
I don't want them to give me free beef. I want them to sell at least some locally.

I am the local farmer

>>14280477
You need to offer more than the guy the farmer is shipping it to.

>>14275983
I don't want to buy the whole carcass at one time.

>>14276019
Lmao not in Cali. It's cheaper to buy from farmers. You're getting scammed

>>14280415
there was a farmer selling 10ths for cheap before covid and I was gonna get one but I guess they sold out. I'm probably going to buy a beef quarter and load up my chest freezer. they had a chicken sale recently and I bought 80 lbs now I just need some other stuff. I only have about 20 lbs of beef right now, some steaks and roasts and stuff. it would be neat to get a whole cow and figure out what to do with all of the odd cuts

>>14280381
yeah houston. i'd defintely recommend browsing houston farmer fb groups as they package stuff in advance for people and do pickups in the suburbs (sugar land/katy/woodlands etc.)
items for sale sometimes vary through the season but it's pretty consistent.

>>14281118
I'll definitely have to check that out. Im in the medical center so I'm not getting my hopes up

>>14275983
Because when said local produce is available, the supermarkets near me bend over backwards to buy their goods so they can dickwave they are locally sourced. They have the logistical train already in place for my convenience.
>>14277056
>For meats, wait for deer season and make friends with your local deer processing guy.
Except during hunting seasons they are busy as shit and if you're not bringing them a carcass (which they take a cut of), you're paying premium for their products.
>Food shouldn't be expensive, it's only is what it is now to feed all the normies in the cities and suburbs
Food prices are artificially kept low compared to other products and food variety and availability year-round is remarkable compared to 20 years ago (forget about 30+ years ago).

Already contracted out to big foreign markets, which seems to be his (legitimate) grievance.

>>14281118
sometimes they have dropoffs in westu or the heights, and if you feel like putting up with entitled millennial the kirby farmer's market isn't half bad.
driving a bit isn't half bad. i live in midtown and i go to the ones in sugar land and it's like a 25 minute drive. gives me a good reason to go get in n out.

>Food prices are artificially kept low compared to other products and food variety and availability
False, the gov pays farmers subsidies to destroy produce and to not grow crops. Your grocery bill for veg and fruit could be 1/4 of what it is now if left to the devices of the free market. They make it more expensive by propping up prices and limiting supply.

Price fixing 101

>>14281594
subsidies help keep farmers stable with a fixed piece of income in case there is fluctuations with growing (i.e. drought, disease, pests).
if the free market had it's way large corporate farms would lower the price of produce so low that smaller farms couldn't compete. after the rest of the competition has been priced out, the corporations are free to sell whatever produce they want at whatever price they want since they have a monopoly/oligopoly on the market.
take a basic economics class anon.

>>14281594
Anon I hate too say it but as the US market stands without extensive subsidies monsanto would own the American country due too the sheer amount of family farms shuttering.

>>14281594
>tripfag has has a shitty, uneducated hot take
Wow, what a shocker.

>>14275983
I always buy from the farmers market and my local butcher who sources from a local farm. I just got a second freezer and thinking of making direct bulk orders.

fuck i tried to go on reddit once and found out it isn't even an image board, it's just a bunch of faggots commenting on one picture at a time. I get google results sometimes if I ask google about a specific topic though

>>14278829
Cuz it's way different than factory farming you retard.

>>14275983
I love greasy food, the greasier the better. When I buy a burger I want that burger to be so greasy that the bun becomes soggy.

Nothing makes me more satisfied than eating an unhealthy greasy burger. I want the burger patty to be compromised of one thousand different head of cattle all thrown into the same barrel and minced together into one patty. With every bit I consume a thousand souls.

I never gain weight, I am full of energy and never get sick but I cannot stop eating processed disgusting greasy unhealthy food.

Anyone else the same?

>>14283460
I was. How old are you? There are many people who think they're immune to getting fat and unhealthy and these people are almost always young (meaning teens up until around mid to late 20s). Enjoy it while it lasts I guess but if you carry on the habit without watching yourself you're gonna notice the consequences quite fast once you get older.

>>14283522
I am 33, when I was 20 my brother would say "wait for your 30's" no he says "wait for your 40's"

I have always been physically active though, maybe that is the secret.

>>14283529
For sure, most people aren't physically active and that plays a large part, and if you have a fast metabolism as well they're gonna work in tandem to keep you slim. But either of those things are gonna put you in a minority and both of those things together will put you in an even smaller group.

What does "local" even mean anyway? There are lots of small family-owned farms in my area, but literally every one of them brings in foreign workers who are willing to do backbreaking labor for minimum wage. Right now they are pressuring the government to exempt their workers from border restrictions, otherwise they are threatening to shut their farms down this season.

>>14283543
Means meat and vegetables that was produced/farmed locally. Cattle born and raised on the farm, vegetables grown on the farm. The nationality of the workers doesn't matter.

>>14283543
a lot of companies push for 100km as the crow flies to be 'local' and make those 'local' dollars but it's far more realistic to say 50km by road, if you can go from your house to the place and back within an hour it's local.

if you gotta spend 2 hours of your day driving to get cheaper milk and eggs you're paying more with your time than you're saving for sure

>>14275983
I grow some of my own vegetables and buy from my local butcher who gets his meat from a farmer I actually know.
