Story summary
- Jesse Filion, farmer at Keegan-Filion Farm in Walterboro, South Carolina, added a $5 fuel surcharge for meat deliveries.
- He opted for the surcharge instead of raising prices because his products are already expensive due to humane, free-range practices.
- Filion warned diesel costs rose 44% amid the ongoing war with Iran, likely increasing supply-chain pressures and affecting shipping-dependent foods like fruits and seafood.
