I will look into this further.
I would have thought that there would be many farmers ( and possibly fisheries and fish farmers too ) that would offer a similar service for meat and fish.
Farmers often claim to be hard done to by some supermarkets and by offering direct sales to the public they would probably be paid more for their produce, whilst at the same time providing an attractive price for the consumer.
Small bulk meat, poultry, fish and lamb are the products I am thinking of here where the cost of delivery on top of the product price could easily offset the cost of delivery if bought in quantity.
As for 1/2 a lamb for example or a stone of fish.
I am not asking for details of farmers who sell bulk bags of, say, potatoes etc. at the farm.
That would not be worth it when factoring in delivery cost nationwide.
It would also probably undermine this thread by the quantity of posts and defeat its intention - so please don't.
A few years ago, and only once, we had a delivery of frozen bulk meat and it came in a polystyrene box with, IIRC, some form of ice packing inside.
It was still frozen when it arrived and was good.
Also, at that time I was not retired ( or partially, as I am now ) and the saving wasn't that important so we never repeated the order and I can't remember who it was from now.
But also, then, some of the supermarkets didn't appear to be taking the p**s in the same way as now on these products.
Now that some supermarkets appear to be determined to put us over a barrel with the cost of their pricing on these products, I think it's time we started to cut out the middle man ( ie them ) and trust the direct supply route more.
So, if you know of any reputable farmers / fish suppliers who deliver bulk nationwide post their web address in this thread.
It's time we fought back against some supermarkets and showed them there IS an alternative.
If you know a meat/fish/lamb/poultry farmer who does not deliver to the public nationwide encourage them to do so and to build a web site - you actually could be offering them a pay rise by them cutting out the middle man - and you could also be doing a great service for forum members here.
Please post your links.
