Dear All,
Gardeners and allotmenteers, I am well aware, revel in unceasing, backbreaking labour and are cheerfully indifferent to the annual round of crop failures and similar mishaps.
Occasionally, though, nature drops her guard and the resulting surfeit often goes to waste.
Whilst it is always joyful to eat one’s own produce, I would like to suggest that selling it is just as satisfying and might even let you buy some new equipment. With this in mind why not sell your surplus fruit and veg. at your local W.I Country Market? They have been established for many years with just the purpose of allowing ordinary people to sell their own produce.
By supplying local, home-grown, fresh fruit and vegetables, when in season, you will be satisfying an almost insatiable demand: the voracity of the public for these things would put even the most aggressive locust swarm to shame.
Furthermore, you would not be impinging on the regular producers: those sweet little old ladies whose entrepreneurial spirit is matched only by their steely determination to protect their own interest at all costs.
The entry fee, a modest 5p for a membership share, must appeal to the spirit of cautious abandon in all gardeners, and the commission of around 10% is only charged on the things that you actually sell.
Gentlemen may also join: provided that they are well behaved, do what they are told, and perform all of the heavy manual tasks.
Look at http://www.country-markets.co.uk/content.php for information on your local market and how to go about being a producer.
Best Regards,
Alanh.
