Eat local, save emissions

Air freight isn’t actually that common for UK food, accounting for 1% of food miles. But that 1% makes up 11% of greenhouse gas emissions for food miles. That’s why none of our produce is air freighted.

By sourcing close to home, we’re cutting the carbon footprint of your food, just another step in the right direction to save the planet 🌍

Here’s what that means:
✅ Fewer food miles
✅ Fresher, tastier produce
✅ A greener plate (and planet)

Eating local isn’t just good for you—it’s good for the Earth too.
And every box you get is a small step towards a lower-carbon future.

“Why spend more on a veg box?” Glad you asked.

Sure, you could get a bag of carrots cheaper at the supermarket...
…but ours were pulled from the ground a day or two ago, not flown in from far away and wrapped in plastic three weeks back.

Here’s what you’re really paying for:
👨‍🌾 Fair pay for farmers (not supermarket squeeze deals)
🥬 Fresher, more nutritious food
💚 Support for your local economy, not a shareholder’s yacht

Every pound you spend helps grow something better for your health, your community and the planet.

What does local really mean? 🥕

For us, it’s not just a buzzword, it’s the heart of everything we do.
Local means working with farmers who know their soil, their seasons, and really know their veg.

It means your carrots were grown with care just down the road, did you know Lancashire has some of the best soil for vegetable farming?

Less travel, fewer emissions, fresher food, and more support for the people growing it. That’s the kind of food we want to eat and we reckon you do too.

A short trip to coffee king yesterday, great to catch up with David and everyone else there!

In a world of ultra processed food and drink, it’s refreshing to to have a hot chocolate with just 3 ingredients, and also completely vegan!

Bunched veg was looking good this week, some spinach, beetroot and carrots going down well!

Did you know you can make pesto or chimichurri out of carrot tops? You can also eat carrot tops as they are, and they’re a good source of antioxidants!

This is why we love what we do, delivering fresh fruit and veg … always with a smile! 😆🥕🥦

Did you know carrots weren’t always orange? Carrots were selectively cultivated to be orange, though they come in yellow and purple varieties too, here’s a few from our boxes this week!

The pigment that gives purple carrots their colour is also a great antioxidant.
