farm/mill/factory food suppliers with direct to public during cv19.

[jpaul]

R4 article this morning about commercial suppliers, now providing their products in bigger packs(better value) direct to the public for online purchase.

Have you found anything good. ? I'd be interested in cheese, flour, fish


the products mentioned were
https://fenfarmdairy.co.uk/shop/baron-bigod-cheese/
https://www.nealsyarddairy.co.uk/co...ctions/products/save-british-cheese-selection
the cheese ring at £30/3Kg sounds reasonablish, but the neilsyard £25/1KG less so

I'd been checking out flour here https://www.shipton-mill.com/flour-direct-shop/flour/white-flour
those are regular prices but a bulk purchase of £1/kg isn't bad
[someone had posted on using bfp flour in panic buying thread too]

No not really.

There are a few around here, that supply to pubs etc that have now opened up to the public.

But that kind of food is the kinda thing you get a cheap food chain pub, 2 meals for £10 at lunch kinda pub.

So sure, you can get 30 portions of bartered cod, etc, but it's all really junk food. You can't get anything fresh really.

Some butchers and meat producers also now deliver but looking they seem to be expensive.

I've been lucky with supermarket deliveries anyway, have not needed to go to the supermarket for about a month now.

It might be very much down to the area you live as to what is available.

from the radio/farming-today, this morning

http://www.nabim.org.uk/where-can-i-buy-flour

that seems to identify general wholesalers, where I live/cambridge, as opposed to specific millers.

they also discussed how some fishermen were doing local sales at their harbour towns, as opposed to shipping nice sea-food to europe. so look out for that.
