Why Good Food is Often Expensive

Source
It's pretty bad when one of your first posts is a cheater post - just a link to a really fabulous video of Joel Salatin explaining why good food is more expensive than store food, but it really is such a busy time of year for us - so I'll go with the cheater post.

Until recently we had been selling eggs to a local restaurant.  Before commencing to do so, we looked up the regulations...the restaurant looked up the regulations and it looked like a great deal for both of us.  Our local paper ran stories about many other small farmers like us supplying farm fresh eggs to local restaurants and bakeries, so we knew it was being done by many.
