Walmart or Farmers’ Market?
Posted By Grumpy Glenn and Judy on April 20, 2009
During these hard economic times where will the typical customer go to get better prices for most of their “fresh” grocery shopping – our local Super Walmart or to the Farmers’ or Community Market when they open for the season soon? The current economic crisis has many grocery customers going without, or a switch to low-cost Walmart rather than their other neighborhood grocer. How can we reach our community members and friends and educate them of the benefits of buying from local, community markets instead? Or, how can we encourage our local grocer to spend a portion of their budget on local produce? Maybe their margin won’t be as high, but they will be doing a great community service. Any ideas?
