I can tell you, most places do not have the "right" supermarkets. I am thankful everyday that I have access to the Ferry Building, Local markets, etc living in the city. It is a blessing. But I am also very aware it is not like that everywhere, no matter how resourceful you are at looking for them. If you have one and use it, great! If you don't, well, isn't it great to find ways to do it yourself? Yes it is. Even if you did have access to this "Super"market, it is still great to provide your own means and still be providing to your local economy.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14862462219769902331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005007494779554415.post-86347228224448020242010-10-14T19:40:14.593-07:002010-10-14T19:40:14.593-07:00It definitely makes people uncomfortable, while it...It definitely makes people uncomfortable, while it inspires the rest of us. It inspires me. Then of course there are the people that probably think you're a bunch of commie, anti-social weirdos, but yea...they're crazy. People are skeptical of anything that isn't part of their norm, and the only thing I know that helps them understand is to show them that it works and that it doesn't hurt, it helps. <br /><br />So yea, Rock on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005007494779554415.post-71138040226780469942010-10-14T14:49:27.221-07:002010-10-14T14:49:27.221-07:00Don't feel like you have to explain anything t...Don't feel like you have to explain anything to anyone girl! People are dumb and dumber. I think what you are doing is great and I support you 100% and am very interested in the process and the outcome. I had a friend ask me, "Have you completely lost your mind?" when I told her I was making my own laundry detergent.

Do n...I am following what **A** said. Sh*t happens.<br />Do not worry about others. I am in the same boat as you, only I am right in the middle of cow country, in fact I can go 1 mile and see a bunch of meat running around in a pasture, but I cannot afford it. It is also a depressed and struggling area here, with a lot of poverty, in fact, I live in a trailer court with a bunch of drug dealers, and poverty-stricken jerks myself. I can't afford to move my modular out somewhere else, as there is no where to move too, so on my blog I say I live in HillBilly Hell, and make the best of it with what I have to work with.<br />I have no access to fresh fruit or veggies except for my farmer's market which I have a booth and I barter for what I need as I cannot afford fresh things, and I do not get food stamps or assistance what so ever. We are in a agricultural state beyond anyone's eyes, but as far as access to fresh, local, forget it, it goes over seas to Japan, and South Korea and Cuba. Go figure.<br />I am proud that those of us who follow this lifestyle however we do, for each individual or family, we make do. Again, do not let pea brains judge, or dictate to you, how you go about doing things for YOUR family, that is yours to dictate and no one elses. Please remain an individual and don't follow the crowd or you will manage to go over the edge with the rest of the idiots.<br />I love your postings.<br />Regards,<br />Denimflzydenimflyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04737448177805751756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005007494779554415.post-15348284956144848552010-10-13T14:10:47.471-07:002010-10-13T14:10:47.471-07:00Great post - though I wish it wasn't necessary...Great post - though I wish it wasn't necessary. I think this is an amazing project, and I wish it was something I could do for my family. What surprises me is that this makes people uncomfortable. But then again, they're probably just feeling guilty about their own choices. What you're doing is awesome. Don't let a handful of small-minded people get to you!*~*A*~*https://www.blogger.com/profile/17049394128469884207noreply@blogger.com
