Pulling a box of eggs, a bottle of milk or a bag of potatoes from a vending machine in the farmer’s yard. It’s a small way to contribute to fairer compensation for farmers. Yet the protests of recent weeks have not led to more direct farm sales. Although farmers would have absolutely no objection to that.

And the quality is better because it is fresher.” .
