YCCMB Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I'm between a rock and a hard place on this one, Norman. If I really want to know the origin of my meat, poultry, veg and cheese, if I really want bio, fresh from the farm produce, then my nearest purveyor of same is, of course, the local farm shop. (Prop. HRH Prince Philip). They open till 4 PM on Sunday, too.So....big business, or support your local (needy) royal family? Tough call. I'm sure you will agree....
