Part of the problem with our food system is the consolidation of
processing plants. I’m just learning the history of the area we
live now, but 40-50 years ago there was a sugar beet plant, a
pickle plant, a tomato plant, another one that processed pearl onions and a
potato chip plant, all within 20 miles of us. And I probably don’t know
the half of it. Now we’re in the same boat as the meat and dairy guys –
there’s no place to sell in quantity. The creameries, the county
meat processing plant and the local produce plants are all shut down. Thankfully
for us thought it’s still possible to sell fresh produce to customers
without processing. Once you pass the volume the options diminish. You might make a few calls to a biggish town close to you though
– produce stands or distributors? I’ve been assuming that everyone
here had a glut of green beans but found out last night that some of the bigger
guys are out right now. Any restaurants that put up their own sauce? Offer a canning class and sell tomatoes too? Our church has two stoves and we’re planning a couple
different classes both to teach and use up some produce. Marcy SE Colo From:
