Tell son to place add for the farmers market people.they have tons of stuff to sell no venue… a match possibly. They need income store needs food.
There is going to be a break in transport soon talked to part supplier they are empty now trucks sitting dead because you can’t find a part. Consumables like tires batteries and head lights all made in China and zero stick left same thing for passenger vehicles.
If not getting from local source it might as well be the moon.
If you are not self sufficient start looking to make those connections to local food. A local farmers market group here now has a delivery and a pick up option. Right now we have zero pigs available for 6 months all presold with deposit of 50% today’s price with allowance for cost increase by finishing time.
For us we traded lb per lb pork for buffalo. One of the contractors we need for new buildings has agreed to be paid for labor in pork and cash for the materials. Pork part is in tens of thousand of dollars in labor.
The gun shop we use has asked to be paid in pork products instead of cash…. the bartering is starting.
Our fuel guy also asking for meat to trade for fuel…. we normally sell to all of these people but usually each transaction is cash at time of sale not give us product instead of cash even if in future….. things getting bad.
