In my rural area, the small family farms have made a comeback. We have a big Sunday Farmers Market where the small farms bring their produce, etc. The taste of the veggies, meats, etc are so much better.

Same around here.
Thing is, I think it is or will be the small family farms, those who can set up gardens to help feed themselves that will be the underminding of the recent big land/farm grabs by the rich elite.
Now, they may use their land grabs to control the cities, but we will be able to stay off of their reservation, and remain independent. -
I see the same here. Near our small town, some folks have been doing a community garden for the last several years.
Those folks, like me, that have have 5+ acre have been growing small gardens for years. This year, I didn’t grow as much; but I have been supporting my local small family farms. These small farms are thriving here.
I rarely buy fruits and veggies in the grocery — unless they are locally grown at one of the small farms. I have mostly changed my eating habits to local in season fruits and veggies. Let’s be honest, the mass produced veggies simply don’t taste as good as the locally grown. I have resdiscovered my love of carrots. Don’t get me started on the lettuces! 😅
Maybe we are discovering that some of the old ways are just better.
