Food deserts (sacrifice zones) are microeconomies, from which wealth is extracted faster than it can be replaced by wages. That’s why there’s no grocery store: the community simply doesn’t have the buying power to keep one open. 

The greatest obstacle in growing the local food movement is wealth inequality. That’s why health food is a fringe area of the supermarket and why grocery stores and farmers markets fall along racial and economic borderlines in our towns, cities, and states.

Our pet food is sourced from Bradford Valley Farms in Damascus, Arkansas, where the Bradfords move their chickens daily to ensure their birds get plenty of fresh grass and insects. That way all the necessary nutrients are available with absolutely no funny stuff.

In the Alaskan wilderness, the Bradfords were virtually alone. “It was awesome,” says Kinsey Bradford. “We went for a year, and had we not had kids, I think we’d still be out there.”
