Decided this morning to head off into town early with a visit to our market, a place i always visited as a kid. oh dear where has it gone ? i remember 5 to 6 veg stalls all competing on price now 2 and hardly a meat stall in view 2 i think The problem i find now is that prices were either more expensive or at the least the same as large supermarkets .Yes i know the green in me said support these independents but i am on a budget and what are the differences, non stated organic or where they had come from were they any different ? A bit dissolusioned i headed on after buying a few bits, so lets think now my next stop Fairchilds a local organic ethical retailer, shame i arrived on a day the veg hadnt arrived but i did buy a nice squash not cheap but good quality . The owner , knew where it all came from , all the veg came from a local site and i could see the value of this knowledge, thanks for the chat Chris.
I can see why families on tight budgets go for the pre-packed lifestyle and i too have done just that but i have made a desision to follow what i think is good for us as a family as much as i can that is . Hopefully once the veg gets on the go in my gardens it will be all down to us .
