Reporter @maxblau.bsky.social spent a year reporting on abuses of farmworkers. It left him wondering: Is there any way to find out whether the produce he buys at the grocery store comes from farms with a record of mistreating workers?

The answer is “yes.” Buy from local farms or go pick your own from a u-pick. I have renewed respect for farm workers every time I go out in the Florida heat to pick a gallon of berries. It is not for sissies.

until we end capitalism, we should pick on the worst corporation in each industry & put them out of business. as an example to the corporations left, we should make them understand where the line should be on how you do business w/ each other, treat employees, customers or our democracy as a whole

We have 20 bushes and picking blueberries sucks. When the berries are ripe, I alternate between being thankful that this isn't my life and saying prayers for those who must do it for a living.

All farm products in the USA are grown by abused farm workers.
