One would think that anything that was run by Prince Charles would be a runaway success, right? After all, this is someone who has a tremendously high standing in Wales, meaning that he seemingly has enough money to go about any kind of endeavor. However, it seems as though - for one reason or another - he's not able to do everything well. One of such endeavors, which I was actually hoping would see a good degree of success, would be farming organically.
According to an article on TIME.com, Prince Charles of Wales had to close down his business which was run by farming organically. The reasons given were the rising prices of the crops along with the falling trade. This is a shame because it seemed like an honest farming effort, as crops were grown in on the estate's Duchy Home Farm before being sold to the public. A noble effort of course and I think that networks like Colle Farmers Market could agree that potential existed, at least initially.
The U.K.'s economic status has not exactly been robust; in fact, I think you can claim it's the exact opposite. The report talked about this to some extent, as it seems like the area had not exactly been the same after the financial impact it had incurred in 2008. It's apparent that it dealt a great blow to the area and it has been one that wasn't recovered from very easily. It's a matter of time, though how much time is needed is just about anyone's guess.
Stores have to be able to bring in profits so that they can sustain themselves. This is a key point or just about any store, whether they specialize in the selling of crops or what have you. I may enjoy these products - which can be said about others - but how many people are going to look for such qualities over their own budgets? Money is tight, after all, and people have to make smart decisions based on how their bank accounts may look in the long run.
Prince Charles seemingly took a chance when it came to farming organically, as noble as it might have been. The sad thing about this story is that the farm had a lot of potential to grow and, if operated differently, it could have been something that those in the U.K. could have utilized. As it stood, though, the rates were simply too high and people had other responsibilities to attend to. If anything could have helped the farm, it's clear that it would have been better pricing.
