The crazy thing is that i i were filthy rich, the only thing that would change is that i wouldn't go to work anymore, and i'd probably invest in some sort of farm/weekly market where you can buy actually fresh and cheap veggies and things like that and i wouldn't have to care if it makes money. So i totally get that aspect of it. But pretending to be a complete hippie and selling that lifestyle while you're clearly not, just seems weird

Not trying to be a contrarian but a lot of hippies were from rich backgrounds which is why they didn’t have to work to begin with.

See if there are any Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) orgs in your area, I used to go pick up a big box of produce every week at the farm where they grew them, was cool

Farmers markets, there usually held on weekends around here, get fresh fruit and vegetables from local growers.

I don't think they needed to be educated on what a farmer's market is.

They are saying they'd stand a new one up

Where I am at least, the veggies can also be double to triple the price of the grocery store.
