How are you ensuring that the goods sold are actually local farmer products?
That’d be my first thought as a customer.
Given we currently have a rumbling “honey” scandal in the UK.
- flinstoning 1y agoGreat question. We conduct site visits and only work with farmers that have a verifiable farm. If we cannot see a specific product being grown on their land, but they are selling it, then we don't source it unless we know who grew it.
- noir_lord 1y agoThat seems like a solid place to start, I’d still be wary about supply chain though, using honey as an example just having bee hives doesn’t mean the honey going in the post came from them. This is an issue a lot of retailers have tbh, it’s why the scandal w/honey came to mind since it was in the press again recently. Good luck though, it’s an interesting idea, we use our local farmers market occasionally and some of the stuff (ironically honey is a good example) is incredible.
- flinstoning 1y agoThank you very much! If I make ask, What kind of acts of transparency would make customers like yourself gain just the slightest trust?
