How to avoid Supermarket/ Chains
- Getting raw milk from farms, then make your butter, cheese, or yogurt if you have the time and energy ( yogurt is pretty easy )
- Getting olive and olive oil from Olive farms ( I think olive oil is the most important thing when it comes to cooking, I don't understand how some people can live without it ๐ )
- Getting meat from butchers, knowing your local butcher is really important, you might getting the best piece every time you go.
- Fresh veggies and eggs from weekly markets
How's your practice ๐
One of my favorite cafes down the street can't be ordered online, you HAVE to go there IN PERSON ( in fact, most of the cafes here can't be ordered online), even though they have all the packaging ready. ๐คฏ
I guess what they are really selling is the experience of sitting there and having conversations on top of the good coffee ( they even offered us tea for free sometimes ), cozy! And what the chains are really selling is convenience, thus average coffee but one-click order to door.

Ignore the noise
Focus on your craft
Cutting out the selfish people who think they can waste your time and energy, and surrounded by those who are actually appreciating and nurturing your growth. ๐งก
Be grateful for people who are willing to teach you skills instead of selling you a lifetime subscription.
I love buying things directly from makers, and you built up trust over time:)
e.g. I ordered two liters of olive oil this afternoon, and the producer asked me to pay later when I received them. ๐คฏ๐งก
