I spent a minute thinking about a product local to me that had the same appeal. I typed http://michiganlamb.com http://michiganlamb.com into the browser and discovered the concept is not uncommon.
- mooreds 7y agoYes, I think it's pretty common (here's one around me: https://locavoredelivery.com/ https://locavoredelivery.com/ ), but still delivers value and can be a good business. Reminds me that middlemen provide value in a lot of ways, even though they are hated and everyone thought the internet would disintermediate them all.

Sure a decent website on shopify is better than nothing, but most likely only your current customers will go. You need extra skills to bring NEW customers: marketing, SEO, social media, etc.. and chances are that it's someone else that will have those skills.
