We’ve heard a few times from people over the years that they wouldn’t buy from a local supplier or direct from a farm or farm shop etc because it is too expensive and it’s cheaper at the supermarket…
In some cases this is true we are not denying that.
But, in quite a few cases it is also not true.
These are some examples of beef from Asda and also from our local Sainsbury’s supermarkets.
- Asda topside £16.97/kg
- Sainsbury’s 12% fat (whatever that means 😂) beef mince £10.10kg
- Sainsbury’s Beef Fillet £57.35/kg
- Sainsbury’s Extra Lean diced beef £13.50/kg
Here’s a list of our prices to match
- topside £15/kg
- mince £11.30/kg
- fillet steak £49.50/kg
- diced £11.30/kg
3 out of 4 we are actually cheaper. And the mince we are very fairly matched!
(These were random items we selected that we believe matched the standards of our beef)
So this is just a reminder that you can have top quality meat, beef and pork in our case, from a local farm for the same, if not a better price that you can get at the supermarket.
And better still, every penny you spend with a local business goes back into that business and not in the pocket of rich shareholders!
Now, we understand the need for a supermarket, we shop in them ourselves! And the majority of our cattle are sold through markets which supply supermarkets with meat. But, if everyone thought about buying things like meat, veg and dairy items from a local supplier every now and again then it would be great for our local economy, environment, rural communities, the list goes on!
But if you can’t find a local supplier or can’t get to one, then please continue to BUY BRITISH MEAT, DAIRY, FRUIT AND VEG in your supermarkets! Like we’ve mentioned, our small family farm is like many up and down the country providing top quality food for the supermarkets to sell.
