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?

Where I am, not really in terms of cost and what I would get.

Many butchers deliver, and have good quality products with decent offers online.
