Small farms are people who live and work in your community. They're your neighbors. They actually do care more about you than a corporation. I'd trust an actual farmer 10,000 times more than a corporation.

I do mine in a hydroponic system and it is honestly not that time consuming.

But that's like two meals. I get it as a little fun pass time, but for it to be your main source would require space and work.

No. I grow enough lettuce for my family to have a salad every single day as well as greens for cooking like Swiss chard and all of our herbs. Again, it is not much upkeep. The system tells you when to add more water and nutrients and I do have to keep track of when to start more seeds but it is not super time consuming.

That being said, we have a large garden and greenhouse and have been growing most of our own fruit and produce that our personal chef works with for years now. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Where do you get your news? You need to revisit that. *obsolete

Thank you for this.
