Simon Hirst, partner in the family run Hinchliffe’s Farm Shop based in Netherton, West Yorkshire (UK) – which was established in 1974 – said consumers were “missing out” by being forced to buy from supermarkets.
Hirst, the fourth generation manager of the Yorkshire farm, said: “The supermarkets have had a stranglehold on our food chain for so long we’ve been given little choice but to trawl the multiples’ aisles for food that is poor quality, poorly sourced and, particularly in the case of the meat products, over-priced. The supermarkets would have us believe they are cheaper than the farm shops and farmers’ markets but, in many cases, this simply isn’t true.”
