Vegetable Delivery FAQs
Where does your veg come from?
Our veg comes from a network of farmers and growers we work closely with. From traditional farms growing caulis and cabbages to horticultural charities supplying herbs and tomatoes, and organic market gardeners, hand-picking salad leaves we work with producers of all sizes. Over 95% of our veg is produced locally but we do buy some veg & fruit from organic wholesalers from outside the county when they aren’t in season here in Cornwall.
Is all your veg boxes organic?
We sell a range of vegetables and fruits which are registered organic. You can shop all our organic vegetables online. Our Naturally Grown Veg Boxes only contain organically grown veg from registered growers and veg grown to organic principles which are not registered and so cannot be labelled as organic. These growers are often small market gardeners who pride themselves on their ecological sustainability and have no spray policies.
What do you mean by ‘Naturally Grown’?
By Naturally Grown we mean veg which is grown using organic principles of no spray etc but is not registered so cannot use the organic label.
I can’t find the veg I need...
Our vegetable availability changes with the seasons. We do increase the availability by bringing in organic veg from outside Cornwall but our priorities are firstly Cornish, then the UK, and after that Europe. Our priorities are supplying you with fresh veg from as close to home as possible.
