If I could figure out a way to get a load to Washington state, I would do it. Living in both Colorado and Arizona, I always looked forward to Olathe corner time. We'd buy 10 dozen ears -eat what we could and freeze the rest.

Selling to either small local stores or directly to the consumer gets slightly higher income to farmers and much lower prices for the buyer. Direct sales could make a whole lot of difference to the survival of farms. Use the coops to start.
