Just like everything else, the price for your apple cider donut is going up this fall. But don't let that stop you from spending your money at a local agribusiness. Baked goods triple the business for an orchard or a farm market, according to Kate Farrell with Valley Bakers Cooperative. She works with more than 150 agribusinesses, getting them ready to serve baked goods during their busy season. She says supply chain issues, such as a starch shortage, and higher prices, such as for sugar and butter, mean there will be more substitutions and variety at your favorite fall agribusiness. For example, Farrell says If an orchard couldn't get an apple cookie mix, then they opted for three other cookie mixes to make up for it.
