 For the right price on one of these it might be worth it.

The fact that a shop is selling something produced on a farm doesn't make

That's how I understand it, going by the places around here that call
themselves
farm shops.  They're on farm grounds selling their own products.

way in the UK.  I don't recall seeing it used in that way around here.

I would say not, by my understanding of the term.  But I can't guarantee
my understanding matches general UK usage.  However, if we count that
as a farm shop then the term essentially becomes an alias of greengrocer.
A greengrocer with a single supplier, but still a greengrocer.  An
intermediary between the customer and the farmer.

of mangoes, it's not worth mapping, is it?
