Gonna miss the fruit, but the tree was tainted

So I need to find a new place to buy my produce and "health food."  I usually buy my produce, nuts and other specialty food items at a local farmer's market 5 minutes away.  Today went there and the entire parking lot was lined with the head loon Christine signs.  (I will not even give her full name, but she is Bill Maher fav)
I turned into the parking lot and I started ranting.  My daughter was with me so it was clean.  I parked and I kept voicing my unbelief that a business would display such a polarizing figure.  I got a cart and we entered the store.  I just could not go through with it.  I told my daughter we had to leave.  I could not bring myself to spend my money there.  We left.
I was disappointed because I actually shop there weekly.  Unlike my boycott of Walmart where Target successfully makes me not think about them, I do not have a replacement.  But I honestly felt I had no choice.  I had also "liked" them on their Facebook page.  When I got home, I made a comment on their page and I "unliked" them.
I know they probably do not care about me not wanting to shop there anymore, but I feel in this small way I taught my daughter that one's conviction is important.
