Found another small farm shop nearby, the kids had a look at their animals whilst I bought a tonne of meat, potatoes, local honey and locally made soap! It seems one of the only ways that smaller farmers can fend off the agri-business (as opposed to agriculture) onslaught is to sell directly to the customer, as the supermarket also abuse the farmers, many of which make a loss each year instead of profit. We are quickly reducing our visits to sainsburys and tesco etc, even things like laundry detergent can be solved via castille soap and soda crystal concoctions or an eco-egg. This is literally the one thing where the "consumer" does have the power. We need the supermarkets to make a loss, this "pandemic" has been amazing for them, along with all other big business.
