[QUOTE="DeejayR, post: 966818, member: 126679"] This thread had opened out nicely. The more I think about the food chain the more complicated it becomes. I can see where my eggs come from by looking out of the window. The chickens live 20 yards away at Rachel's house (she also spins wool among other things) and roam all day among neighbouring gardens whether the owners care or not. My veg comes from Jason's shop and he gets up early to go to market, and also has deliveries. Ron the butcher has blackboards listing the local sources of all his unprocessed meat and makes most of the sausages etc (which I don't eat) in the shop. He also sells orange-yolked Dorset eggs (from just across the border) at £1 for 6 :) Our baker, also Jason, starts work at 3am and by 7am the smell of hot bread is wafting along the street :( Alas, I have stopped visiting him, but Mrs DeeJay hasn't! Vanessa runs the health food shop where I can get decent stock cubes, yeast extract, xylitol, almond flour etc. but it costs. I sometimes use mail order. I get dairy stuff from the Co-op and the butter is from Somerset. But does it go to Manchester or somewhere first? You never know. My allotment yields all kinds of things according to season, usually in inconveniently large amounts at one time, so I spend hours washing, preserving, bottling and freezing. One local charity shop takes surplus stuff. I swap things with neighbours. The total cost per tomato etc if you include time and labour must be frightening. My brain hurts now so I'll stop. [/QUOTE]
