The grocery store of the future

It's post apocalyptic. There's a bunch of rednecks toting their guns talking about something to do with doing stuff for god and for country. There's a bunch of hippies who think they have attained global consciousness and feel they are living in harmony with the earth, they have merely come to fix their connection tower, which is a radiotower, but it is a live tree.

You shop at the local grocery store, but it is not indoors, it is not on a street, it is not out in the open. It is a patch of the woods where all sorts of foods are grown. A small pond surrounded closely by some tiny trees, the whole area is covered with what looks like a morning mist, indeed it is quite cold over there, and that is where all sorts of cold fresh vegetables are growing there. The whole area is a bunch of different micro-climates, each with a budding bounty of delicious delights, all abuzz with the movement of the shopers, human and non-human alike. There are some gluttons who never leave. But this is not any shop you would ever recognise, indeed if you went there you would not know you were in a shop. You would look around and see everybody eating and carrying things about the shop, but you would never see anybody pay for anything
