In a few weeks I’ll be heading to Wales to collect our moss for the year.
It’s not been easy to find a farmer to supply the quantity we buy so we’re really excited to be starting this new relationship.
The moss is sustainably harvested from these valleys and woods and few people could be so excited to go and see the operation in person! 🏴
It’s really satisfying to cut out the middleman and know that all the buying costs are going directly to the people (and families) that have worked so hard to supply our fresh products.
To be totally honest, when the farmer and I started talking about costings, I was ready to negotiate him down to match the prices that our wholesalers offer. After learning more about the process, and understanding that our order would put him at picking capacity for 2-3 weeks, I felt that his price was fair for his hard physical labour and I didn’t ask for a penny off!
