About Us
We are a small, family run business providing our customers with the best selection of organic British produce available, from farm fresh fruit & veg to organically reared meat and sustainably sourced fish - all delivered to your door in returnable boxes.
We source our produce as locally as possible and are linked to several farms all supplying their local areas. These include Lyncroft Farm, Royal Oak and Blair's in Lancashire & Cheshire, Howbarrow Farm and Mansergh Hall in Cumbria and more recently Fordhall Farm in Market Drayton, Shropshire.
We are building a network of local vegmen and ladies who are the local point of contact and will also deliver your orders. This helps us keep it truly local and provide a closer point of contact for our customers.
All our produce has zero air miles and to offset our own inevitable carbon footprint we support the Sand Martin Wood project in Cumbria.
We want our customers to get the very best service, safe in the knowledge that by shopping with us they are also helping to look after our planet.
Remember that we’re here to help! So feel free to call us if you need that extra something in your delivery, or of course go to our easy to follow website and update your order - it couldn’t be simpler!
We hope you enjoy the food and the service.
Best wishes
