Almost, I live in Stoke which is a bit of a wasteland as far as food
goes. I'm pretty sure 80% of the people here would happily live off
just oatcakes and cheese (well, for however long you could live off a
diet like that).
The nearest farms on that list are Fordhill in Market Drayton and
Lower Hurst in Buxton - but I don't fancy doing a weekly meat shop at
either. I've bought mail-order from Lower Hurst before, but it was
VERY expensive. Now I've got nothing against farmers earning a
living, but how much can it cost to let a cow wander round a field
eating grass for two years?
Right now it feels like organic meat farms are taking advantage of
their relative scarcity and promoting themselves to Marks & Spencers
shoppers (sorry, don't know how to translate that for US readers,
think opposite of Walmart).
