Faceless Farmers
Apr 21st 2025
Most farmers are faceless farmers. Faceless essentially means anonymous. If your not buying directly from the farmers who grow your food, then you are most likely buying food from complete strangers who you don't even know which seems crazy when you realize it right? Most of the produce stickers you see at your grocery store such as the ones on each avocado are actually the processors who buy the avocados from the farmers for bottom dollar.
Our society has created a system where direct relationships with the farmers who grow your food is more and more rare as consumers settle for whatevers convenitely available without ever pondering the food chain that feeds them. Most people have completely abandoned the most important questions to one of the most vital sources of life.
Who grows my food? Family Farmer or Major Corporation?
Where does my food come from? California or International?
How is it grown, harvested, & processed?
What is done to it after harvest?
