Ashurst Organics veg box scheme started in 1994 as a Community Supported venture organised by Common Cause Co-operative - a social enterprise based in Lewes, East Sussex.
We grow vegetables on our farm and deliver the produce directly to homes across England. We are hugely different from farm shops and supermarkets - we harvest the produce for you and you get the freshest possible. You can also get full provenance meat from the butchery and a large range of farmhouse baking with no additives or fancy packaging. When you buy from us you're practically a farmer!
As our veg is so fresh it tastes better. That is a fact. Anyone who has grown their own knows that you cannot beat that 'just picked' taste. But there is another reason; our farmers pick the varieties they grow for taste, not for shape, size, colour, etc. A supermarket tomato has to be round and red with no imperfections. That is because they sell to you with your eyes not your tongue. We have all had those tasteless insipid tomatoes that look good but taste of nothing. You won't get these with us.
The Handy Shop is a family run business specialising in wholesale and retail sales of fresh fruit & vegetables. All produce is sourced daily from local and international markets to ensure freshness and quality.
Phantassie is based on the edge of East Linton in rural East Lothian, just 25 miles from Edinburgh. The original growing area, a one acre walled garden, is a sheltered patch which has been in use for over 150 years. Gradually we’ve also cultivated another 7 acres. Our large unheated polytunnels enable us to extend the growing seasons and provide a variety of vegetables all year round. We supplement our produce with veg from other local Organic Growers, as well as England and Europe with a cornucopia of Fruit, always as local as possible, never airfreighted and FAIRTRADE if applicable.
Proud to say I grow all my own produce without the use of pesticides.
I work hard to offer good value for money to all my loyal customers and ensure that they receive the best quality and genuinely homegrown vegetables in their boxes.
Ripple Farm Organic's East Kent vegetable box delivery scheme aims to provide its customers with a seasonal range of fresh, locally grown (mostly), 100% organic vegetables and salad each week. Approximately 80% of the produce is grown by ourselves near Canterbury, Kent with most of the rest from Kent.
We are a small family business who are passionate about making the most of our wonderful local Ayrshire produce. We started by selling our own fresh herbs and salads at local markets then expanded to selling other Ayrshire produce as we found more and more delicious foods made here in Ayrshire.
The Growing the Veg Box project has been preparing veg, fruit and salad to hundreds of customers across Torfaen for almost 7 years. We’re part of the Garnsychan Partnership, a charity based in Garndiffaith, and operate as a social enterprise; all our profits are reinvested back into our community in the form of volunteer placements and training, art, cookery and gardening classes, and support for other community organisations.
