The Journey of Your Veg Box: From Farm to Front Door

The Journey of Your Veg Box: From Farm to Front Door

Have you ever wondered about the journey your veg box takes before it arrives at your doorstep? Behind every fresh carrot and leafy green is a carefully planned process, ensuring you receive the freshest produce possible. Let’s take a closer look at how your box comes together, step by step.

1. Planting with Purpose

The journey begins months before harvest, with thoughtful crop planning. Each season, we carefully select what to plant based on what will thrive in our no-dig beds and what our customers love most. From tenderstem broccoli to vibrant radishes, every seed is chosen with care.

By focusing on seasonal crops, we ensure that every box is filled with vegetables at their peak, offering the best flavours and nutrients. Our no-dig methods not only preserve soil health but also encourage biodiversity, helping our crops grow strong and sustainably.

2. Nurturing Our Crops

Once planted, our vegetables are nurtured daily. Regular watering, careful weeding, and plenty of attention go into every bed to give our plants the best start in life. Our polytunnels play a vital role, creating the perfect environment for more delicate crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, and leafy greens.

We believe in working with nature rather than against it, which is why we avoid synthetic pesticides and rely on natural methods to keep our crops healthy and thriving.

3. Harvesting by Hand

When the time comes to harvest, everything is picked by hand. This allows us to carefully select only the freshest and ripest produce for your box. From crisp lettuce to juicy tomatoes, each item is checked to meet our high standards of quality and taste.

Hand-picking also ensures minimal damage to the crops and helps reduce waste, making our farming practices as sustainable as possible.

4. Partnering with Local Growers

While much of our produce comes from our own fields, we also collaborate with trusted local growers to complement our boxes. These partnerships allow us to offer a wider variety of seasonal, organic produce, all sourced sustainably and close to home.

From fresh mushrooms to early peas, these locally sourced items add diversity to your box while supporting a network of like-minded farmers.

5. Packing with Care

Our team works quickly and carefully to pack your boxes as soon as the produce is harvested. Using recyclable and minimal packaging, we arrange your vegetables to ensure they stay fresh and protected during transit. Each box is a little bundle of farm-fresh goodness, packed with care and attention.

6. Delivered to Your Doorstep

Finally, your veg box is delivered straight to your door, brimming with the freshest produce of the season. Whether it’s your first box or your fiftieth, we aim to bring the farm-to-table experience to your home with every delivery.

The Heart of the Process

Our veg boxes are about more than just delivering vegetables. They’re about connecting people to the land, supporting sustainable farming practices, and reducing the distance between farm and fork. Every box tells the story of our farm, our values, and our commitment to quality.

By choosing our veg boxes, you’re not just enjoying delicious, fresh vegetables—you’re also helping to create a sustainable food system that supports local growers and protects the planet.

We’re Grateful for Your Support

Every time you order a veg box, you’re part of this journey. Your support allows us to keep farming in harmony with nature, and for that, we can’t thank you enough. If you have any questions or feedback, we’d love to hear from you—your input helps us grow and improve.
