  • What if I don’t like a particular vegetable?
    - A lot of our customers don’t like potatoes or cannot eat them for dietary reasons. Therefore we offer a potato free option. If there is something else you don’t like please let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate your wishes.
  • Are you an organic scheme?
    - No – we are not an organic scheme. This would drive our costs up considerably and our customers do not insist on organic produce. We do however buy from our organic growers on a regular basis therefore the boxes often contain organic produce, particularly salad leaves and vegetables. Many of our producers do not use pesticides or chemicals however they are not certified as organic producers by the Soil Association.
  • Why do you sell bananas as they’re not local?
    - Our customers like variety and bananas are a firm favourite. We will always buy locally grown produce where this is available however to meet customer demand we supply imported fruit including bananas and citrus fruit.
  • Are you a registered charity?
    - We are currently a Company Limited by Guarantee and are seeking charitable status with the Charity Commission. Our organisational policies and practices are however in line with Charity Commission guidelines and good practice.
