My aunt tried to do the whole fancy import thing for her cafe, bringing in special berries from far away. It just made everything cost more and the fruit would go bad so fast. She switched to a local farm and never looked back. It reminds me of what lopez.simon said about waste and fuel, those hidden costs really add up. People started asking about the farm by name, just like your flower customers. There's something about knowing where it comes from that changes how you see it.

That denim couch cover story reminds me of my buddy's duct tape wallet phase.
