Supporting local growers - no thanks!

Gosh that is expensive! We are lucky enough to have a local smallholding near us which sells their fresh free range eggs for £1 for six. I do try to support local producers wherever possible, but farmers' markets and so on are getting quite expensive now.

It isn't always the best quality either- I have given up shopping at the local grocers because its expensive and poor quality.

However, I don't think you can entirely blame them- the supermarkets have the monopoly on our food supply.

I d still try to support local growers and suppliers when I can though, though it is often a bit of a luxury like some locally made butter I bought, butter has become expensive anyway but this was very good and I would buy more but it is only sold at local craft and food fairs.
