There's not really an alternative that also lets farms be independent. If a GSPs really wants that level of control over farms, they might as well start buying them up.

The reality is that the documentation is like software T&Cs. You get to run your farm however you want and Driscolls has some CYA for later.

The reality cuts both ways. You can still sell produce directly to local grocery distributors that pay higher, but the requirements are going to be even more stringent with less guarantees.

Local grocery distributers? I thought the big ones had an absurd market share
