I used to buy my meat there as well before we moved "south".

Pity we can't form a co-op and send someone to go up and buy it in bulk

Sad to say but most of the 'farm shops' near to me (Yorkshire Dales) are tourist rip-offs

We moved to a less fashionable part of Yorkshire and prices are so much cheaper here. Our local farm shop is brilliant, it's on a farm (unlike the ones I used to go to) and is run by the family from Grandma who bakes the cakes to grand-daughter who grows plants. They don't sell meat but the farmer can always tell you about a man who does. Last year I asked if they had any cooking apples and the son asked me to wait. 5 minutes later he came back with a bagful and said they were 10p because they were from their tree!
I do envy you living in the beautiful Dales.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Sorry! I shouldn't laugh, but, the mere thought of CQ promoting a sheep/pig to a veggie just tickled me sooooo much - because I may well have done the same!!!! :rotfl:

The arguement fell flat as we did a taste test here. Bought organic veg and a chicken, eggs and bread. Had a real good cook up and made Sunday dinner with Yorkies and a braed n butter pud with Mums recipe custard. Delicous yum yum, What a winner on the day.......................... During this very week had to do (have!) a quickie tea. Beans (value) on toast and they loved it, so quick, so easy but the fact was both times everyone was hungry.
I do eat a lot less meat nowadys and buy organic when its weekend, it feels better on my coinconce, for all concerned.
