[QUOTE="sustainable24, post: 9206041, member: 186108"] I've been selling outdoor raised pigs in quarters for a couple years now, people say the meat is incredible but the biggest problem I think is that most people do not have chest freezers anymore, 25 years ago everyone had one and storage was never an issue now everyone has to think and plan their storage so people are less interested in buying bulk. A few people are very keen to buy local, higher welfare and more delicious pork but many are still in the 'just pick up a cheap pork chop from supermarket x as is needed and who cares where it comes from' mode. Its a british mentality I think thats hard to break so I don't know how much longer I will sell farm gate pork, especially when you couple in the grief I get from certain customers. For example the guy that got sh*tty because he wasn't put on the next batch of pork list as he didn't pay for the first lot ! I could have chased him up I suppose but its all work and hassle, its not a hobby. [/QUOTE]
