    So glad you have plans for the little farm fridge #2! We were very happy customers, and loved all your products, even the meal boxes..I’m not usually a meal kit person, but your were so well designed. It was so nice that Zoë delivered and always had a chat. I’m sure the next iteration will be just as imaginative, and I’ll look forward to that.

    I'm so glad you got a good price for them and wish you well with the last ten, getting their feet sorted and a bit more meat on the smaller ones.

    Chris, another good video. Farming is a truly hard job, for sure! Hope Zoe and your baby are fairing well!

    6:04 I’m a potter in the US and I sometimes carry the same guilt for the prices I have to charge to make a living. The people with the understanding of what goes into that food/item and know it’s of better quality than is generally available at the market, will not complain. I know what I make is worth it but I still cringe when I ring someone up and they blithely spend $300 on mugs. Trust your customer and be proud of your product. Advice I’m still learning to take. 😂
    Letting go is good and things happen when they’re meant to. Trust the process and the journey. 😊

    farming is hard and long hours all we want is a fare price for our animals because we produce the best prime of meat there is so much red tape these days and it's hard to keep to make a living so now I just work on a farm which is a breeding turkey farm so we ai the turkeys every day to make the eggs fertile because they carnt mate naturally keep up the good work

    Another great video….reminiscing is very cathartic Chris!!!! Making this video means you’ll never forget what you did, where you’ve come from and all those lessons will help you both in your exciting future!! Can’t wait to hear about your meat boxes (this year or next!!). Tbh I was sad to see Zoe’s little hairball in the pen at market 😢 but I understand why. Can’t wait for the next video 😊

    Glad you got a good price. I don't mind paying more for my meat if it's been farmed with higher welfare. I will buy a smaller portion if it's been treated properly.
    Can't afford organic though!
    That Dartmoor was so cute!

    You're probably feeling sorry, because you're not a psychopath who doesn't care about anyone. You're a good human being, with empathy for the world around you, and that's a win in my book 🙌

    You think prices are high in the UK?
    Supermarkets are UK farm shop prices here in France.

    • @paulamartin2740
      @paulamartin2740 4 дні тому +3

      Very true, however, shopping in local markets and local independent shops supports smaller producers and less so the big supermarkets. I hope 🤞

    Definitely emotional for you ,is hard to let something go with all memories attached. Maybe 1 day you’ll be back selling direct your own lamb,v valuable skill is butching lambs. Lambs where a good trade ,paid to put some feed into em

    So there is no futures markets for the lamb trade, I know in the us the Chicago board of trade you can sell commodities in the future for a set price,

    Do you still have goats? I’ve been watching a lot of UA-cam videos on people raising up goats for milk and pets.
