I'm so envious I live just outside Glasgow and have nothing like your farm shop near us. Nothing but nothing else beats meat eggs and veg right from the farm. We lived in a farm in early days of our marriage and obviously all our meat, veg ,eggs even milk and cheeses were home produced. Now I'm yearning for the taste of real meat again. Enjoy
It was refreshing to see real food on her counter- no brightly colored processed stuff! It even looked like real food! This will be a week of healthy eating for sure!
Nice little shop, the minute steaks looked rather nice. More wholesome food too. Plus it makes it a morning out a little jaunt with the dog. Makes a relaxing Sunday worthwhile.
No air miles, organic or at least reduced pesticides, and animals stuffed with antibiotics/water/steroids is a win win. Any local food is keeping someone in a job. Hopefully your farm shop can continue and not be affected by the new government and it’s taxes on farmers. This country needs to harvest and farm more food.
The cool thing about getting fresh food and organic and natural food is processed food takes up a lot of waste a lot of room a lot of space. When you make that meat. The average serving being 4 to 6 oz give or take or you stretch it right there I could eat for a week I would have awesome soup I would have egg or egg salad I would have probably 10 to 16 meat meals with the combination you are going to get used to more and more when you buy the best it stretches better it lasts longer and you really don't need as much because you don't have the process chemicals telling you now I need more liquid now I need more salt now. I need more sugar. Feed me more !!! I'm not hungry the bodies says. I've had enough chemicals. Feed me food from the garden to the table. From the farm to the table. From the animal to the table. Yes we still need grocery stores and they'll be processed food. But the cleaner the better the healthier you eat it really does get to be cheaper for your body and your health and your joy. I'm so excited to see what do, make :-):-)
Recent research shows that women and older people tend to lack sufficient protein in their diets, especially with smaller meals and less efficient digestion. Our bones and cartilage are 50% protein and a diet poor in protein long term can lead to osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. I find the farm shop minced beef too dry and rich, so I add in sausage meat or chopped lard & tallow when cooking. I've found 4oz of the steak will adsorb up to 2oz of dripping when being sauted. The fat makes the meal more filling and triggers the "saity" hormones for longer.
@picking4profit I also got all the fat & trimmings from the "harvest" and now have a huge amount of lamb tallow purified and canned. Nothing goes to waste.
I used to shop regularly at an organic veg stall at a farmer's market. You could ask for clean carrots, but most people asked for a kilo of dirty carrots. They came in a net with a thin cover of earth, almost like clay slip. It acted like an additional skin and kept the carrots fresh for ages.
I bought leeks yesterday too. Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet but I do love a leek! Better quality meat is the way forward. I have to say that EU standards are pretty high and we can get good-quality meat in our supermarkets.
we live in a tourist area and the farm shops are horrifically priced so they can kid themselves that theyre staying in the healthy countryside instead of the reality that this is a huge factory farm...lol we just eat whats cheap regardless but would never afford to venture into the farm shops weekly
When I was in the UK a few weeks ago, we spotted seeral pumpkin farms. My daughter said they are very expensive. She bought hers in Morrisons for £1 each.
Trying to reply to who ever asked if the meat ration if 2oz per day or per week. The ration was one shilling and two pence per head per week. Two pence had to be taken in corned beef. Sausages and offal were not rationed but hard to come by. The shilling by ruleof thumb provided two ounces of raw weight meat to cover about five days.
After hearing upset farmer about the budget and finding out how much food we would loose without them well that shocked me. It got me looking for farm shops and restarting my milk round lol
Oooh, those leeks are amazingly chunky! Maybe try to re-grow the ends? Leave say 2 cm of the bottom bit, and put it in water in the windowsill or similar. Or a handful of soil if you have around, it regrows green shoots that are absolutely delicious on potatoes.
£23!!!! Nooooo... My frugal nerve is throbbing! Is that farm shop making you pay for that fancy shed! Go to a halfway decent independant butcher and grocer and spend £23 on a meat and veg pack to do a comparison, please. 😮
So expensive at the farm shop..! but on sunday mornings you will be at ASDA getting the cheapest reduced meat you can find.. Doesn't really make sense especially if you are trying to save money. And as for the meat tasting better ,I totally disagree. Where do you think the supermarkets get their meat from? yes.... The meat farmer ...... 🤣 This farm shop trend is just an expensive fad.
Grew up on a farm the difference is that the meat is fresh day of slaughter fresh the veg is mainly day after our of ground of not same day same with eggs laid most likely either that day or day before. Same with fruits in season. You have obviously never tasted truly fresh farm to fork food the difference is indescribable.
@@amsodoneworkingnow1978 You cant know much about meat then, no one in their right mind would eat meat on the day of slaughter. Meat need to be aged or am I wrong?
The thing I would most like to get closer to nature is chicken. I haven't been able to buy chicken in years, because it tastes so bad to me. I remember chicken growing up, and it was nothing like the supermarket chicken is now. But having said that, everything in your farm shop looked so much like real, honest food!
This totally makes sense when you use high quality meat as a flavor vs volume part of the menu. And if you compare it to eating food from a restaurant (even fast food), it’s actually very economical.
Nice to see carrots with actual dirt on them. They taste so much better.
Absolutely. Carrot tops are great for soups and sauces. However, my pedigree rabbits do a little jig when they get them,
I like them in bunches too@@maggiefriend2146
What a great shop you are blessed

You are so fortunate! I love this so much. Don;t hesitate to take us along.

Excellent shop! Eat the freshest food that you can. One ingredient foods that you can combine yourself.
What a great idea! Im impressed! And jealous! I would shop there regularly!
That is exactly how veggies should look, they haven’t been washed in heaven knows what then sealed in plastic. 🙂👍
Nice little shop, the minute steaks looked rather nice. More wholesome food too. Plus it makes it a morning out a little jaunt with the dog. Makes a relaxing Sunday worthwhile.
Glad you've got access to quality. Your farm-shop prices are mostly cheaper than the supermarkets in France!
I love you taking us to have a good nosey ha
Worth every penny.
Use less but quality ❤

Lovely little haul... and it's all fresh or freshly frozen... I tried frozen leeks the other week... never again, they were very stringy x lol x
Wish we had a farm shop nearby with such quality food. You are so lucky to have that!
Didn't think the veg looked that fresh. Very expensive, my local egg farm is £1.50 for half dozen.

@@lat1419 yes I eat plenty of good beef fat and butter; I can vouch that I am never hungry. I love lamb chops due to the delicious fat
@picking4profit I've got a freezer full of very fatty mutton from a local farmers. Just delicious
@@lat1419yum!!

And when you wah the carrots, if they are organic you can use them to water the garden.
I bought leeks yesterday too. Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet but I do love a leek! Better quality meat is the way forward. I have to say that EU standards are pretty high and we can get good-quality meat in our supermarkets.
Wish I could afford farm shop prices

I gput the roots in water, and after a few days they have produced more useable leek.
What a good idea. I might try this with my three. Thank you.

KAren does not have much of a choice of shops without driving for about an hour.
Appreciate that, still a lot of money for very little tho
During ww11 the ration of raw meat was 2oz per person and the nation had never been so well fed much to the boffins surprise.
2oz per day or per week ?
@@donlcannon7602 Per day.
Per day, I believe but folks were also encouraged to go meat free on several days a week.
Thank you. Very interesting

Awesome deal in meat ‼️
The eggs are always delicious, naughty or not!
We go to a similar farm shop. Yes, they are more expensive but are certainly worth it in my opinion.
£2.50 for organic eggs is a good price.

2:20 - is that a milk machine ?
and soup...just throw in some lentils
