Good evening from the mountain, it has been a long day, I
went and picked up the saw horses and got a few things at the grocer, met one
of my sort of neighbors. It was
interesting to hear someone else talk about the troubles that have fallen upon
all of us and the ways we are all trying to deal. She was explaining to me that we could no
longer sell eggs at the towns square; I did not know anything about that. I was expressing that at least I could still
as a farmer sell there. I found out I was sort of wrong, if the item is eggs
they must be refrigerated, so they say and there for cannot be sold. I can still sell vegetables and jarred food
as well as bread, but no eggs. Who are
these people refrigerating eggs? Honestly I am perplexed by the whole idea.
To tell you the truth it is getting very hard to make money
as a small farm that refuses to use nasty chemicals and GMO seed. I am so frustrated with trying to make money
in general. All the skills I have are
worthless in this China economy and each day I feel as though I lose more
ground. I can make lovely beaded hat
bans, necklaces, chokers, bracelets, etc., but since the China is making these
in their country and selling them here, well I stand little chance of selling
any of mine. Here is my example; I
charge 5 dollars an inch for a ¾ wide piece, ten inches $50.00 American dollars.
They can sell a loomed piece for of the
same size for $5.00.
I am guessing I will have to find a new nitch market to make
money, though I am not sure what that shall be.
Be Blessed
