That’s why “farmer direct” often has you doing the bulk of the pick work.

Never heard or seen that here. They still have their pickers (and butcher), they just don't have an intermediary come take it at prenegotiated prices which then sells it to some grocer, they just sell it direct in their own shop. Meat is frozen, the rest fresh and on shelves.

Or the least practical packaging as with a CSA.
