So it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s summer time and this year I am seriously considering the farm idea where I wanted to visit a farm to see how much money I could save if I bought items directly from one as opposed to shopping at a store. Not only that, I figured the products would be better too.<\/p>\n
Looking at the locations, it appeared that all of the farms were located in more rural areas that would be quite a way off from the area I live in. That was making me think and trying to do some research on the prices that farmers would charge for the item vs a store. At the same time, just how much volume do you have to buy to make it worth it?<\/p>\n
I have been trying to find some kind of price list online but have not had any luck thus far. But At this point I think it does come down to the travel expense. Example, if an item was only $1 dollar cheaper buying it direct yet it costs you $1.25 to get there and back then it is not worth it.<\/p>\n
So many times it can be cheaper to just buy it from the store since companies buy them in large wholesale quantities have the shipping all sorted out. I always wondered why more farmer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just put a pricelist online somewhere as I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure if there was more awareness of the alternatives in buying the products directly from them it could be better for everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
