I have chickens. People refuse to pay $5 a dozen for our pasture eggs. Even though that's cheaper than any other eggs in the area. I'm also sitting on a dozen goose eggs. A goose egg is three times the size of a chicken egg. They want to pay less than three times the cost of a chicken egg, even though geese only lay during the spring and only lay every other day.

This is because people assume that you should do it out of the goodness of your heart. Since you're not mass producing.

Which is absurd.

If anything they should be willing to pay you a premium for a high quality product produced in far better conditions.

no but see it's about hierarchy. the factory farm is bigger than me, and so I must serve it and obey on its terms. the local farm is just a person. I bet I could take them in a fight. therefore they should serve me and all interactions should be on my terms.
