[QUOTE="delilah, post: 7649445, member: 76758"] From their website, the bit that matters: [I]Every week Pipers Farm delivers around 9,000 orders of sustainably produced food to homes around the UK.[/I] Selling direct. The article doesn't talk about that, which is a shame because I would imagine that it is that which makes it work. The article does have this line shoehorned in among the stuff about the farming system. [I]Companies such as Nestle, McCain, Unilever, PepsiCo and Danone are publicly backing the approach. [/I] And there is the rub. There are 10 companies - those above are in there - processing the bulk of the food sold by the cartel. How does the need for scale, for a minimum number of suppliers, for each food item to ideally come from one farm, fit into the view of a farming future presented in that article ? [/QUOTE]
