Dear Farm Journal,

Today was a very satisfying Saturday. I felt antique and accountable as I purchased food. My thesis on socially responsible food and ethical food consumerism continues to play in my head and bring up the significance of how we buy groceries. On this sunny Saturday morning, we buy produce from our neighbors. We do not venture far from the farm and we have personal relationships with those who we make exchanges with. There is very little plastic used, very little fossil fuel burned, very few carbon emissions released, no pesticides or GMOs used, and so much community built. This is how food should be.
