See your point of view on this but what we are getting unending interest from the dairy and cattle communities for the exact opposite
Our customers see it as an alternative route to market for all produce.
Vending milk either raw or pasteurised through a vender is a fantastic story from carbon footprint and community point of view. Customers buy your glass bottles at a good margin and then whilst advertising your farm to all and sundry bring them back week after week to buy more of the white stuff at £1 plus per litre rather than 25p or so.
The same applies for farm produced meat. If you have the ability to process the meat locally at a reasonable cost then the additional return to you from selling it direct cannot be underestimated. The public want to know where their food comes from and it is simple to create a positive insight into how you produce and look after your animals and the obvious quality of such products
The loyalty from the public that comes with knowing this information is astonishing and the range of additional products that can be added to the range of products you sell is endless
Its not easy and takes effort and creativity but its not rocket science either to make a huge difference to your margins
