[QUOTE="Peace, post: 1662778, member: 41443"] Right, how thin is the air when you're asking 4x the cost of grocery store, or 2x the cost of whole foods or other "organic" stores. At some point fresh, local and organic lose that shine, but I'm pretty sure most of his customers aren't worried about how they're going to pay next month's mortgage. I'm guessing he has no choice but to head to Seattle that often as he has to deliver that often to keep his customers, and is probably doing a couple farmers markets to get customers. I'm sure it's as much work as any other type of farming, but the $/acre is there. Even if he had a big enough customer base to take his production weekly, would there be any way possible to get them all to come to a central place in Seattle and all take delivery on the same day. (good luck with herding that flock) [/QUOTE]
