President Biden has begun to accuse stores of overcharging shoppers, as food costs remain a burden for consumers and a political problem for the president.
Large farms have economies of scale the small ones can’t match. I raised four pigs and had to sell them for $5 a pound just to break even, which is a lot more than pork chops at the grocery store.
Granted, they were an heirloom breed and at least 5x better than the dry pink things most hog farmers raise, but even if I had 40 pigs I don’t think I could match that price.
Considering this is about eggs in supermarkets being too expensive for many people, I don’t know that telling people how to pay even more for eggs is the best advice.
I have yet to find one that was not substantially more expensive than any local supermarket.
