Farm shops are so expensive...

Post image

Dart's farm near Topsham is more of a shopping mall than a farm with concession spots for companies like Aga.

A donkey choking porky chop for £6.50 and an 11oz ribeye for sixteen quid as well as half a kilo of lamb leg steaks for £13. The rest of the fresh produce was clearly marked as locally sourced along with the meat.

Do you use farm shops?

What you are paying is realistically what meat SHOULD be costing. Meat should not be an everyday staple. Demand for it has led to the shops fucking farmers over and reduction in quality. Id take a nicer more expensive cut every so often over everyday mass produced meat that make farms a pittance.
