Hi
I've not posted on here for a long time the last time was regarding meat boxes which sadly never got going due to one thing and another. But since then I have moved premises, but only just recently.
So I have now taken on a 6 acre grass paddock with nothing there other than a field shelter and now the beginnings of a couple of other temporary structures. My new intention is farmers markets selling my own grown pork products and potentially local outlets and the usual friends and family. Obviously I've food safety to go through first before anything goes ahead, what I'd like to know is are there any other smallholders out there who are certified organic?, does anybody have a rough idea what the certification costs are?, and is it worth it?. My partner is a marketing manager and so will have no problem with any marketing of products but thinks going down a high quality route is the best way to create a niche in our area as there are very few organic suppliers around us.
Any thoughts and comments will be very much appreciated.
thanks
