Shoppers are looking for opportunities for classic grocery stores and place closures, says Caroline Ferguson, director of the agricultural market at the 21 Acres Center for Local Food and Sustainable Living. These opportunities come with King County farms, generators and ranches that use ancient techniques to improve soil fitness and extract carbon from the atmosphere. “This is a replacement that can mark a turning point for local food and sustainable agriculture that is running to mitigate climate replacement,” Ferguson said.
Since the COVID-19 outbreak became national news in early March, the agricultural market has noticed that its sales nearly doubled from the 2019 figures. Not only are total sales higher, but consumers increasingly buy a giant portion of their weekly purchases locally, than only specialty items; The average transaction duration is more than 74% compared to 2019 according to Ferguson, with a record sales day set for July 3.
