A farm shop has so many tomatoes the owner joked they'll be protecting their stock from thieves with armed security amidst veg shortages. The humorous warning comes as shops across the UK are displaying empty shelves as supplies of fruit and veg dry up.
Craig Condon, owner of Brambledown Farm Shop near Kent, on the Isle of Sheppey, has had no issues with getting fresh veg. The shop is packed with so many tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce that Craig issued a tongue-in-cheek security warning on social media.
He posted a photo of a gun-toting farmer leaning on a wooden gate with the caption: "If you are visiting the farm shop today, don’t be alarmed at the new security officer patrolling the tomatoes." He added: "No shortages here at Brambledown, I can promise you that, from my head to-ma-toes."
