We get letters:

"LOVE YOUR BEANS: I'm from CANADA and very proud of it... I'm forced not to purchase any American products until after your midterms in 2026..."

There are consequences.

Canadian too, but I am still going to buy your beans because they are awesome!

I believe these things can get carried away. We are still neighbours, the issue isn’t individual Americans it is with the guy running amuck in DC.

It's such a weird situation. If you're not hearing a lot of Americans speaking up, part of it is because we hope it will just go away. Of course it won't and we do need to speak up.
Trade reform is fine. When it's done by adults. Throwing tantrums and threats helps no one.

Love your beans, too. We'll get through this.

Can you have a Mexican store front? :)

I don't believe in broad national boycotts for the most part. Reasonable people *throughout the world* need to be united in standing up to authoritarian actors - foreign and domestic.

Dear Canada I love you. As an American I’m ashamed.

I fear there won’t be any midterms, we’ll be over by then. You can refer to the USA as Gilead in the near and terrifying future. Obviously, I’m not optimistic.

Underground Beanstalk time.

I get where they're coming from. On the other hand, when I get worried about things falling apart, I panic-buy rancho gordo beans, so maybe it all evens out.

I will try and buy more beans to cover the losses.

Yes from an anti-TChump American please stop purchasing anything made in republican states but you can still buy from our Democratic states and that would hurt him even more. It won’t be nearly as much buying but you’re still supporting what he calls us the enemy within. Thanks

I second this. As an American, please do not buy from us. Except maybe Costco … they seem ok so far.

ranchogordo.bsky.social•24 days ago

...there is a little bean company called Rancho Gordo to consider. I understand why one wouldn't buy any us goods, but if we're grading on a curve, we do pretty well.

nerdyash.bsky.social•24 days ago

Noted… I will of course be verifying the accuracy of your statement, but good to know. Thanks!

Yes, there are. Costco is the only big corp I am buying from, everything else is small biz locals or companies I know to be decent.
Your beans are the best, I'm down to just a couple of packs I picked up at Monterey market the last time I was in the area. Hmmm, order online or wait 3 weeks til visit

Deeply sorry for the boycott but your rulers(they do not deserve the respectful titles of president, cabinet and dangling participle, Elon)insulted my country, my people, our land and our leader. Financially is the only way we can hit and the only way those folks understand

ranchogordo.bsky.social•25 days ago

I fully understand.

nerdyash.bsky.social•24 days ago

Don’t apologize, it must be done for the good of all. 💕
