There’s a movement going around that’s related to local foods. Local businesses. It’s called 3/50 Project.
We all want our local businesses to thrive but how often do we pass up the local store to head to the big box store?
The 3/50 movement suggests that we (that’s you AND me) spend at least $50 per month at three local small independent businesses. This will save our stores.
Just this week I saw where a bbq restaurant is closing it’s doors. That’s sad. Did I frequent the place? Well, just a time or two….
Now, since I’m out in the country, I don’t have a lot of businesses to choose from but from this point forward I will buy my bird seed at the nearby farm store. I’ll stop at Sonic for a DP and as soon as Country Boy rebuilds from the May 10th tornado, I’ll be buying some groceries in there (and buying my gas there.)
So we should not only eat local but shop local too.
Think about what’s around you, and locally owned. Give them your business.
