Our Veg Box Ethos & Practices

Organic

Organic is a method of food production that delivers a wide range of benefits across our whole food system, from people to planet, plant health to animal welfare. That means: No artificial fertilisers or pesticides that kill off our bugs and bees and wash into watercourses. Healthier soil that stores more carbon. No genetic modification (GM). No artificial colours and preservatives. Much higher standards of animal welfare. Both our Farm and Box Scheme are independently regulated and assessed by the Soil Association for Organic best practice. All the fruit and veg in the boxes are certified Organic.

Low Waste Packaging

We offer plastic-free boxes, and we reuse and recycle the delivery boxes, making it easier for you to keep your excess waste to a minimum. We work with other local suppliers to encourage them to think about packaging and have successfully brought in traditional solutions like glass bottles for local milk or new biodegradable bags for leafy salad.

No Air Freight & Buying Non-Local

We import some additional variety to our box produce, especially in the winter months, when year-round access to things like citrus fruits, peppers and tomatoes has often become seen as essential in modern shopping habits. We always avoid air freight transportation, with air emitting around 50 times as much greenhouse gases as transporting the same amount by sea. Sometimes growing locally can also have a bigger impact than importing from France or Spain if it involves growing with artificial light and heat. We always give careful consideration to where our food comes from and its associated impacts.

Packing our organic fruit and vegetable boxes for Sheffield folk

Considerate Pricing

We continually review our prices to make sure we are offering the best value for money possible. Things like Organic practices and supporting decent jobs and businesses might make produce cost more than some products in the supermarket, but we think it's important to recognise the full, wider cost of food, and for us it's worth every penny.

Seasonality

There is nothing like fresh fruit and vegetables at their seasonal best. For taste, there is no comparison when freshly picked in season, and it saves you money as it is picked at the peak of its supply, which costs less to farm and distribute and is better for the environment, reducing the energy wasted in transportation and artificial growing. And we certainly don’t needlessly waste wonky and non-uniform veg. We only get in produce that has been ordered that week, so there is no wasted excess food behind the scenes, and we help our suppliers plan their demand so they can plan ahead and reduce waste as well.

Low Emissions

For our very local deliveries, we use a trike, making it loads easier for us to deliver locally, lowering our carbon emissions and making the delivery round loads of fun.
