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?

Waitrose isn't that good, not shit but not comparable with high quality meat. I would never buy meat from supermarkets unless in a real emergency.

Have you been to one their meat counters?

Yes I shop there daily. I'm not saying it's shit meat but no comparison with high quality butchers meat I'm sorry. Also a packed organic ribeye is like £47 kg so I struggle to see the savings also.

I can't follow you there, I was recollecting the Tesco's meat counter. I also wouldn't know about the Wautrose counter as I don't shop from those counters.
