"Price noted this isn’t the family’s first farm adventure. Their cows have briefly run off, their bulls have slipped out and a llama once escaped and tried to get on a bus."

@pinhman I'm not sure if it's all inherited, but I do know when I lived there in the 80s there were a lot more small #farms than there are now. These may be owned by families, who came to control more and more, buying out the neighbourhood, and now being a kind of landed #gentry. Many have become #agribusinesses, no matter the #family tree.

@RememberUsAlways I have a safe bet for you: #solarPunk #hardware and #farms

If you travel to my farm with a battery, some solar panels, a mesh router, and/or ham radio, I'll most likely feed and house you for as long as you're willing to stay. Surf board, solarpunk van…could be the good life, no?

Went to one of the #farms to buy #eggs. They also had #yoghurt today so I took some of that as well. I don't like unflavored yoghurt from the supermarket, but fresh it's great. The two are incomparable! This is why I buy food at the farms. You won't find anything more #fresh and #local 😍🥰.

On the way back, I saw some sheep chasing a cat out of their field. Never seen sheep this angry 🤣.

Food production and infrastructure failures cost consumers when they buy #groceries. Corporate control of our #farms means investors come first, not the customers. We're there now...this corporate control of our food needs to be dialed back. Avi and the #NDP can make this an issue if we give them a chance.
