What did you eat on Thanksgiving?
Do you know where your food was raised?
Do you know who fed your animals?
Do you know where your corn and sweet potatoes were grown?
Did you buy your food in a big grocery store or from a family farmer?
Thanksgiving 2024
We went away for 2024 to Mexico where we ate local seafood, beef and pork. Our tortillas were hand made and wood fired table side.
Christmas is right around the corner. Do you serve turkey for your family dinner? Do you eat stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberries? Do you drink wine or beer?
With the recent budget extension—provisions of the farm bill were included
My family turkey and corn farmer should finally be seeing his conservation stewardship payments that he was expecting back in September. It’s not fair that our family farmers were pawns in the budget games.
2) CONSERVATION STEWARDSHIP PAYMENTS.—Section 1240L(c) of the Food Security Act of 1985 (16 U.S.C. 3839aa–24(c)) is amended
Why didn’t he receive his payment yet?
I know this because I opened my ears to hear his struggles over the last few years and wanted to share how tough it is for our family farmers.
Eat real food, support your family farmers, support your local brewers.
Merry Christmas!
Happy Chanukah!
Blessed Kwanzaa!
Take some time to learn about each other and share kindness and empathy to promote peace on earth.
