[QUOTE="ladycrofter, post: 3562284, member: 616"] We went to a local farm shop (once), it wasn't well lit. They had freezers full of local beef cuts but not really displayed in a way you'd want to buy - just frozen lumps of vac packed beef. Another farm shop does the same but in addition to it being more welcoming inside, there are nice display cards with pictures of the cuts/prices/etc. So the customer does not have to try to read a frozen wrinkled label. They also have the eggs stacked on keyes trays and the customer fills the 6 or 12 box themselves so I guess they feel a bit more involved or whatever about the eggs. I think some farm shops go overboard and stock stuff you can get at the supermarket, I think it kind of cheapens the whole idea that it is somewhere you can buy stuff the supermarkets don't sell. Another one is full of "farm tat" - tiny chicken-shaped chalkboards, little bits of wood with all of that cheesy have a good life sayings sort of stuff written on them and a little bow on the top, lots of "rustic" :meh: :yuck: bits and pieces like cows made from twigs. OTOH maybe that's what people want to buy:scratchhead:. [/QUOTE]
