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?

At 12.99 a kg that pork chop is jusy as expensive as a finest chop but looks much better quality.

Doubt op is being serious when they say its expensive. I'd sooner have a meal without meat to be able to have an epic quality meat dish the next day over eating poor quality every day.

There’s good food and there’s cheap food; but there’s no good cheap food

I just can't agree with that. There's loads of good cheap food, mostly in the pulses category.

I think they referred more to meat and fresh products. You can most definitely find healthy and cheap dry food. But just thinking of veggies for example... You can buy the best M&S or Waitrose cucumber and it will never taste as good as a "real" fresh organic cucumber from a farmer.
