“The second step of the global walkout is to locate and support family-run grocery stores and markets as much as possible. Try to purchase locally grown products to support the farming and market communities in your area. If you live in the city, research what fresh produce is grown in your region.”
Farmer Piet Postma from the Netherlands announced Step 2 in a short video: https://globalwalkout.com/step-2/
TIPS:
- If you have time, research what is grown in your region.
- Source out your local family-run grocery or fruit and vegitable shops. Ask them which products are locally sourced and buy those products.
- Find out when the next market is in your area, and how often they are. Try to go as much as you can and buy enough fresh produce to last until the next market day.
- If you start conversation with the store owners or staff, tell them why you’re there and why you’re making the effort to shop there. It’s a great conversation starter and they’ll appreciate it.

Review of Step 1 -- KEEP CASH ALIVE!
- Arrange enough cash to cover living expenses for one week (or even one day).
- Don’t use any cards (or use as little as possible) during this week.
- Talk to others about why you are paying everything with cash.

Don't forget your local farmers markets. My wife and I sell our vegetables at 2 a week with lots of other local small business. Make sure they are producers not just reselling
If they are selling bananas, everything else might be imports as well.
I read a book from about a hundred years old about someone who worked at a fruit stand in NJ. He said people from the city would ask if the bananas were locally grown. He would say yes, and they were too stupid to disagree.
The questions I've been asked... I think the best was "wait, carrots grow in the ground?" If you can even believe that.
Some cousins saw our watermelons and said they thought they grew on trees. Me being me, I was a bit unkind, and my father fussed at me.
I have to admit: being a desert rat, I found out that pineapples grow on bushes when I went to Hawaii. I thought they grew on trees, as well!
There aren't enough local growers to support more than a small fraction of the economy. Resellers are rhe normal here.
I agree. We need a lot more small scale farms. Great way to protect land and be self employed.

Checked it out. Thanks
Unfortunately, the COVID plandemic wiped out a lot of family-run stores. We need to rewrite the laws to give small businesses the advantage over big box stores.
What laws would correct the fact that people haven't gone out and grown food to sell in their yards?
There are still many farmers in PA that sell locally. We buy as much as possible fresh, eggs, fruit, vegetables, and meat. The local meat is grass-fed and as organic as possible. There is fish at the farmer's market but it's not local so it's a pass. I don't really like fish anyway so it's not a big deal for me.
One question...what do you do in winter?
Canned veggies, soups, sauces, and frozen everything else.
I just watched a video about garbage feeding. I have never been more motivated to purchase from small local farms.
Luckily I live in a small NE state, yes, it's considered "blue", but we have more locally owned business than the larger "red" areas. The markets are plentiful, sometimes contracted to carry chainstore hardware, TruValue hardware is found in general stores, and yes, we still call them general stores. Unfortunately, all the small pharmacies are gone , for the most part, those have been swallowed up by Walgreens. I can get all my food from local farms and farmers markets, Even buy clothing from small independent stores. What we do have is lots of dead mallspace, but personally, I like that. I would say the local economy is fine, there is still a lot of bartering done among neighbors. During the pandemic too many "flatlanders" moved in and are demanding suburban services, the local contractors are making a killing. I've been hoping the whole system crashes for many a decade now, I guess that's selfish, so I pray about it. I honestly believe God did not want for his people to have what exists now, corporations and the people who invest getting wealthy because there is no other place to go to buy. I like local, I know who is growing the food I cant grow myself, I can go see the beef grazing in open fields, the ones that will end up in my freezer, farms to left and right of me, small farms, not subsidized to the max, old farm equipment being repaired by local guys. But my generation of skilled workers, repairmen, butchers, cobblers, etc are getting old and want to retire. Luckily there are lots of young people who have moved here to farm.
This is something EVERYONE can participate in.
Do it!
When we all start buying g local the prices will get higher. So, you have to k ow when to tell the growers to fuck off. It's not worth more than the grocery stores.
I like this idea
Gab is advocating a "Parallel Economy". They are well on their way. We must all be one in this. WWG1WGA.
There are no family run grocery stores anywhere to be found. My town has one little Aldi's, Walmart, and a number of real grocery stores that are all the same brand. So we have very little choice. There are some fruit stands and pickup trucks parked around, but they are hit or miss, move around a lot, and are only there for a few days when the crop of the day is in. For a few days, you'll see pickup trucks loaded with watermelons and cantaloupes. Close to the holidays, you'll see pickup trucks loaded with collards.
Did that just today
There are non-chain grocery stores where you live?
Yes, there are a few local grocery stores that have been around for decades. Also, there are several farmer's markets that have local, regional, and international produce and grocery items. I first inquire about the local items for sale (e.g., bread, produce, honey, etc.).
