The difference is that (as I understand it, not at all an expert in agriculture) the stall would generate nearly equal income if you just bought produce from another farmer and sold it at the stall.
- Cthulhu_ 9y agoif Eve Online taught me anything, this is correct. Either you buy produce wholesale and resell it with a markup, or you spend the time / effort yourself. It's really a cost vs time / effort calculation. Of course, if things scale up - like, if the demand for artisan cheese becomes higher than the microfarmer can produce - buying the materials in bulk and slapping the own brand on there becomes more attractive.
