How does the vegetable box scheme work?
Every week customers receive a standard box packed to their preferences (see registration form). Any week you wish you can order specifically via the website (e-box). This will automatically be delivered instead of your standard box.
Cancellations or alterations can easily be made via phone, post or email.
What is in a standard Vegetable box?
The minimum standard veg box is £6.00. They go up by £1 increments thereafter.
Each contains a selection of in season salads, greens, staples, (potatoes, carrots & onions) root veg & herbs. These are mostly grown on the farm, although some items are bought in from certified suppliers (e.g. mushrooms, potatoes, and carrots). You can detail your likes and dislikes on the registration form, and can alter these details at anytime should you wish to do so.
What is in a standard Fruit box?
The minimum standard fruit bag is £3. They go up by £1 increments thereafter.
They contain a selection of fruit that is mostly bought in, although we grow some apples and plums. To minimise food miles we endeavour to buy european fruit when available. We do not buy any air freighted fresh produce.
Sorry we do not deliver standard fruit bags on their own. You have to eat some greens!
What is in a standard egg box?
Eggs!
Locally produced organic free range eggs from hens that are kept in small flocks.
What is an e-box?
Any week or every week you can order exactly what you like via the website order form. This is automatically delivered instead of your standard box.
Every Thursday we update the order form with available produce. You can then fill it in and submit it to us by 3pm the following Monday. The minimum e-box order is £12.
