Yes, Duchy Originals was conceived to support local farmers and give them access to a wider customer base. The profits go to charities, not to the PoW's personal accounts. The only way for Montecito Orchard Madness to make a profit is to have their goods produced in bulk, otherwise they'll have to pay California labor rates and the margins will have to be huge to be profitable. I think they'll price themselves out of the market eventually. There are plenty of trendy options for organic jams, body butters and tablecloths. Cosmic Orchard will have to offer something truly unique to generate a customer base.
