We hope you’ve all been soaking up that new-found freedom. We’ve got some exciting updates, quite fitting for Earth Day, and we thought you might like to know what’s on the horizon for Veg in a Box…
The Greendale Growers Project
Having just moved into a house with a large garden, Julie and Bela wasted no time getting out there mowing, sowing and growing as quickly as they could to get ready to fill your boxes with their very own, home-grown produce! This new lil’ venture takes Veg in a Box one step further to becoming as local as we can possibly be. Picking fruit, veg and salads from our very own grounds!
Seeds, seeds, seeds
Julie and Bela have ordered absolutely thousands and thousands of these lil’ beauties from Vital Seeds based in Ashburton, Devon.
Vital Seeds was set up when they discovered the lack of UK-grown organic and open-pollinated (the natural way plants breed) seeds. When seeds are cultivated millions of miles away, it makes it difficult for them to adapt to the local climate and means we lose control of what we can grow. Vital Seeds are on a mission to cultivate every single organic seed in their catalogue and we couldn’t be prouder to support this lovely local business – growing some fabulous produce to put in your boxes each week.
Two budding growers
Julie and Bela will be taking a few days off a week and at weekends to concentrate on this new avenue of the business we’ve named The Greendale Growers Project. We’ll keep you updated over the summer with everything that’s been growing in the garden and what’s been freshly picked that week to go in your boxes…
Stay shopping local
We also want to thank you lovely lot for sticking with us now everyone’s flocking back to the supermarkets. We know it can be tempting, but at this time we need your support to keep local people in jobs.
Ordering a Veg in a Box doesn’t just mean you’re ordering your groceries, it means you’re supporting Devon bread makers, butchers, farmers, cake bakers and so many more. Right now we need to make sure Devon keeps going, as well as getting those food miles down.
So to get same delivery on your box just call before 10 am on 01392 877189.
Or simply order on the site one day, and we’ll get it to you the next.
This is so exciting! Together with my friend Kathy Cornick from Pavers Farm we have secured a beautiful 1 acre plot to start growing our own produce! It’s perfect, even has a poly tunnel! The idea is that fundamentally would love to grow our own produce for the business and to involve our customers more …
We love seeing our Devon farms come back to life with so much energy – spring’s in full swing! So we’ve got together with our lovely local farmers to create a new range of boxes in celebration of this joyful time of year. Named after frolicking lambs, snuffling piglets and mooing cows, these lively boxes are bursting with the springtime hustle and bustle of a sunny West …
My Veg in a Box arrived this week… One gloomy December morning a friendly face appeared at the door, beaming over a box of fresh groceries and greens. The box was overflowing with delicious produce: feathery carrot tops, cheery-looking rainbow chard and brilliant green broccoli florets were all peering over the sides. Placing my full-to-the-brim …
We’ve loved your support over the last year, folks. It’s been a pretty tough ol’ one hasn’t it? But it’s great to be able to bring you the best Devon has to offer, right to your door. As lockdown lifts, our local suppliers need your help more than ever to keep their lovely, small businesses thriving. Forget supermarket giants, let’s carry on eating fresh, …
