Prince Charles Opens Highgrove Vegetable Shop to Public
Prince Charles opened his organic vegetable market, Highgrove, this morning to the public. Located in Tetbury, near his royal estate—also named Highgrove—the shop is the latest venture in the prince's Duchy Originals organic products empire. From the Guardian:
At Highgrove shop, the prince is sticking to the formula that has served him so well; on offer will be everything from seasonal vegetables freshly pulled out of the ground from the prince's nearby estate—no extra charge for the royal mud still clinging to them—to apple juice from Camilla's orchards in Wiltshire.
There will be jams, jellies, honeys, chutneys, and mustards, as well as handmade biscuits and chocolates. But the coachloads of visitors, tourists and shoppers that will beat a path to his store should not come expecting a bargain.
To be fair, it's the spendy souvenirs at the shop that the Guardian knocks; the produce, it says, is reasonable.
