OUR BOX/BAGS CONTENTS POLICY
Our first priority is to put as much of our own crop in our boxes as possible througout the growing season. We will be extending our growing space this year to include outdoor space and our aim is to extend this further over coming months (see our newsletter).
We will then incorporate bought-in produce in the following order of priority:
- Local (40 mile radius). We have a number of local suppliers, mainly in the Pilling area.
- Regional (where we are unable to buy local produce due to its unavailability) – Lancashire and Yorkshire.
- British produce.
- European produce (out of season in this country particularly in the winter)
- Rest of the world (mainly citrus and exotic fruit)
BREAD, EGGS, MILK AND SHOP ITEMS
As a box/bag customer, you can add on bread, eggs and milk to your box/bag orders. You can also add on a couple of items from our shop (maximum of 2).
'SPECIALS'
We currently add on a service charge of 50p to the cost of boxes/bags where a customer prefers to exclude/add certain vegetables or fruit. This will remain the same.
CHOICE CUSTOMER SERVICE
This service offers the best of all worlds. As a Choice Customer you are able to order exactly what you want in the way of vegetables and fruit and any number of items from our shop. We have a very wide range of products in our shop, both dry, tinned, packeted and chilled. The range allows customers to stock up on all their organic basics and add in some extra, more exotic items from time to time.
Choice customer ordering on-line. To order exactly what you want in terms of organic vegetables and fruit and organic groceries from our on-site organic shop, click on the link above.

NEWS|
OPEN DAY 13 JUNE 2009 A date for your diaries. Our Open Day this year will be on Saturday 13 June. Come along and see your food growing in our glasshouses, in compost manufactured on site from local household green waste. You can also see our Forest Garden and the exotic fruit growing there. See also the bio-diesel plant producing the fuel that drives our delivery vans. There will be a range of other activities going on including tasting, craft workshops, information about organic growing and permaculture, and activities for children. THE HUNGRY GAP In recent weeks, we have been able to put our own crop into your boxes: leeks and purple sprouting broccoli in particuar, along with some chard, spring greens, spinach, mixed salad leaves and herbs. Spring greens, rocket and mixed salad leaves are still going into some boxes, but we are now entering what is commonly called the ‘hungry gap’. This is traditionally the period in between the end of the winter-stored crops and the new year’s crops coming through. Stored locally-grown potatoes are available but the quality is not always good. Carrots and onions have to be imported. It is also the time when there is a bit of a hiatus in between our early crops grown over the winter and the growth of crops seeded and planted out this year. The range of produce available, particularly in accordance with our policy to provide you with locally grown or UK produce, is very limited right now. So, please bear with us. We continue to make every effort to provide you with quality and variety. You can look forward to much more own crop from our two sites at Clapham and Gisburn and locally grown produce sourced from Whetherby and Pilling in the coming months.
ORGANIC COMPOST....ORGANIC COMPOST....ORGANIC COMPOST....ORGANIC COMPOST....ORGANIC 40L bags at £3.50. You can either collect from us or we will deliver with your fruit and vegetables. Our compost is produced on site from green waste collected and delivered to us by Craven District Council. We are now completing the cycle - community green waste turned into compost and either used to grow vegetables that go back to the local community or compost to go on local community vegetable gardens.
