YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power (lemmy.world)

Sure I’d be happy to buy from them too, got the directory links for everyone else?

Here’s USDA local food list, for as long as we can trust them: https://www.usdalocalfoodportal.com/

And here’s a list of CSAs: https://www.localharvest.org/csa/

You'd have to check your local area because I've only got links for my county, but I've got a CSA farm share. I'm rural, so the farm is right down the street, but most of the CSAs around here also have pickup at the farmer's market in town, so it's still pretty accessible.

Oh definitely. I know who’s around me because I’m totally into gardening myself.

My comment was half tongue in cheek because the guy I replied to was playing the ‘all lives matter’ card. It’s a bad faith argument and deserves to be called out.

But half not because I’m always interested in finding if there’s places to buy niche produce. The more you get into gardening the more you’ll realize grocery stores only offer a limited selection based entirely on what can be shipped and sold in good shape. So much variety out there that can’t handle the rigors of supply chains.
