Farm fresh fruit & veg

grownup1

It's worth asking around to see if there are local people with allotments or smallholdings who like to trade small quantities of surplus.

We had a great service from a colleague of mine. We gave her a tenner every now and then and she dropped by when she was passing and left a box at our back door of whatever she had surplus of.

Farm shops are like any other shop. As people said, it doesnt mean that they have just grown the stuff and selling it. Most farm shops just buy their stuff in bulk the same as supermarkets do.

I go to auctions which sell farm produce and you can buy a whole tray of cauliflours or brocolli for £1 a tray. Apples, oranges etc... also sold by the tray load. Big sack of potatoes for £1.50 when tescos just wash em and stick a few in a bag & sell for twice the money.

biblejohn is there anyway of finding out if these auctions happen in my area?? Thay sound fantastic. Where are you? I am in Surrey if you know of any there!

Thanks
