Hurray for someone in Asda with common sense-probably a woman!! When the farmers were struggling with the foot and mouth problems etc. I couldn't understand why they didnt band together and sell direct-before long the farmers markets were set up and they are a great success all over Devon and Cornwall. This must lead on from that with confidence gained from the strong public support now we need them to stop sending our local fish from Newlyn to Billingsgate and on. If you get up very early and go direct to the fish market you can buy but the small customers are not really wanted--high time our fishermen followed the farmers lead and fought back!! great opportunities for SEO as well.

Another reason, perhaps why supermarkets are going green, via the local produce way.
Within the last 3 years there have been 3 farmers markets open within 5 miles of our local supermarket, (we have a Morrison's and a Tesco).
We buy our meat at these markets as by cutting out the middle man we can buy it cheaper, and fresher. Although often they only open 1 day per week the customer base has become noticeably bigger.
OK it may make only a slight dent in the profit of said supermarkets, but if they can show they are buying local produce and by cutting waste (greenseal, starpol) reduce their cost and pass some of that back to the customer, they will benefit.
Look how many customers pay inflated prices just because they see the word ORGANIC on a produce. They may buy mainly for the better health, better taste reasoning but I know a few who include the none use of pesticides (for reasons of none pollution of the environment as well as health) as a reason.
You may feel that I have gone a bit too far of track, but all this goes to show that Green is in. The customers know it and so do the Supermarkets.

Driver,
I would e-mail you anything you want, but you know everything I just sent to bos, anyway!
Aldwick,
if you had even the slightest insight into what I just sent you would know how silly you now look. If I were you I would edit that post, just in case bos decides (not yet) but sometime to let people know what I said.
