(quoted from post at 11:17:21 08/16/19) Interesting, I would agree. We had someone here in town doing something similar, and the dairy products were very good. It did not work out for him, but there is more to it. His location was just far enough off the beaten path, same one I have frontage on that sees 25K+ cars pass by daily. This road is non stop busy 'til the wee hours of the morning.
There is no doubt that if a quality line of products like this or many things similar, under one roof, you could move product. I've got the land to support it, to a certain extent, you could have a farm to table connection. The concept is good, with hard work, it could be done, but is it sustainable, no one would know until well into it.
One of the things that leads me down this path is a very well known high end butcher shop that offers the best products, along with high quality meats, the place is always crowded, never mind approaching holidays. My location with a store like this, all these NYS, NJ and others headed to Vermont in the constantly flowing traffic, you would sell for convenience and quality, better than even the alleged high end grocery store a mile down the road. None of these kinds of places could offer what you could like the format of the high end butcher shop does. People like quality food, the price points would be a contention, but once you establish a reputation, the repeat business would be significant. Some speculation in this, but it's less than a gamble, though hard to predict how well you could actually do.
