Straight from the farm.
You're paying too much for food that's too old
Supermarkets add layers of markup, cold storage, and transport. By the time that tomato reaches your trolley, it's been on the road for days and passed through three middlemen — each taking a cut.
30–40% markup
Supermarkets add distributor, warehouse, and retail margins on every item. You pay for the shelf space, not the food.
3–7 days old
"Fresh" produce sits in cold chain logistics for days. Picked unripe, gassed to look ready, sold before it actually is.
Farmers earn pennies
The grower gets 15–20% of what you pay. The rest goes to distributors, packhouses, and retail giants.
Cut the middlemen.
