This is happening in Canada:
Shared from Northern Farm Training Institute, Hay River, Northwest Territories, Canada.
‘Turns out, we’re not allowed to sell our produce to our community - ON OUR OWN FARM! Last Saturday our farm stand (on our own property!!) was shut down by the government. The NWT government has made the selling of food from farmers directly to people illegal now in the NWT. The public is only allowed to buy food from producers who have government permission through a government 'permitting' program.
We still want to continue sharing our produce with the people in our community - especially in a community that is already struggling with food insecurity and access to fresh and healthy food and especially in times like this, when food shortages are on the horizon.
So starting today, there is a permanent farm stand located at the entrance of NFTI, right by the highway, where you can pick up farm fresh eggs and organically grown vegetables every day, picked fresh every morning (and freshly baked sourdough bread on Saturdays). We are offering the food as a gift and we do accept donations. Take what you like but please leave enough for others We stock up every morning. Thanks to everyone who is supporting us!’
