The farm shop is taking off. I thought it had taken off by the end of last year, and now the first three weekends of this year have trounced last year’s takings on a month to month comparison. This is making me anxious.
Is it still the novelty factor? Will we have to keep producing new products, like a magician pulling a new rabbit out of a hat every week?
