Prince Charles vs. The Veg Shed

                                                            

 

The royal couple William and Kate just appeared happy and relaxed as they waved at the crowds of journalists and onlookers gathered outside London’s St. Mary’s Hospital, while their father Prince Charles just forced to shut down his own store.

Britain's weak economy has taken its toll on the nation's poshest greengrocer with Prince Charles forced to close his organic vegetable store, citing falling trade and rising prices.
Prince Charles, the heir to the throne and a champion of the environment, opened a store near to his country home Highgrove in Gloucestershire, south-west England, about eight years ago after converting his estate to organic farming in 1986.

The store, The Veg Shed, sold organic vegetables and fruit freshly grown on the estate's Duchy Home Farm and became known for selling edible but oddly shaped organic produce that would normally be rejected by supermarkets.

                                      
But a spokeswoman for the prince said the store had closed after it failed to make a profit as it was no longer financially viable. The produce was invariably more expensive than at local supermarkets.
"The Veg Shed has closed, basically in response to consumer trends, a preference for shopping remotely," a spokeswoman from Clarence House, the prince's official London residence, told Reuters on Tuesday.

She said consumers wanting a taste of the royal organic produce can still order boxes online.

Actually, people don't have to pay that surpassing price for clean and healthy vegetables. They only need to buy an LED vegetable grower at home to add fresh food at their table. By our Chicfarm LED vegetable grower, it is not a rock science at all. Fill it and forget it. Is it hard or not?!
