My local farmer also increased their price from $4 to $5.
Their duck eggs from $7 to $8.

They also make preserves and pickles.
I inquired too late about the three pigs that were outside last year.
They were already sold.

They also sell goat milk.

There is another farmer on the other side of town that makes gelato from the milk of their sheep. They make some very interesting flavors.

There are three towns around that all have weekend farmers markets.
I have checked out each throughout the year.

In addition, my wife signed up with the company out of MA called Walden.
Named after the Thoreau pond.
They deliver to our house once a month wild caught fish and meats.
It comes shrink wrapped in vacuum sealed packaging in two person servings.
I’m sure we are paying TOP dollars for that stuff, but it is all sourced locally.

Wild caught fish is the only kind I like to eat, if I can. We’re like you. We will pay more if the quality of the product is better. Local sources are better, too. We try hard to only eat very little of processed foods, though bacon is a regular in our diet.
