weekly organic vegetable boxes direct from the farm,

since 1993

Buy purchasing direct from the Farm you can benefit from fresher and less expensive produce then is typically available elsewhere, while at the same time directly supporting local agriculture.



Choose from the following  types of Box:
  1. Standard vegetable box - would suit 1-2 people or small family
  2. Large vegetable box (with additional 3-4 items of veg over the standard) - would suit 3-5 people or                                              larger family
  3. Standard fruit box - would suit 1-2 people or small family
  4. Large fruit box (double the fruit at a reduced price) - would suit 3-5 people or larger family

Many of the larger box schemes act as wholesalers, packing and distributing other peoples vegetables, both from this country and abroad.
 
Unlike them, we as the growers can offer the following to you when you subscribe to our vegetable box scheme:

  • Fresh quality vegetables direct from farm to you in 24 hours or less*

  • Foods grown on land that has been Organic for many years and up to five decades for some of the fields 

  • Minimal food miles & packaging and maximum freshness & nutrition.

  • Vegetables that are not just Organic but Bio-Dynamic.

Fruit Box £6.50 A variety of fruit as dictated by seasonal variation and availability BUT not all fruit will be local or from GB
Large Fruit Box £12.50 As Above BUT double the quantity which is excellent value for money!

Payment

The box scheme runs all year round but is split into 4 quarterly sections for ease of  management and to reduce costs.
Payments are therefore on a quarterly basis (13 weeks). Provision on the booking form is made to cancel the box for weeks when you might be away etc.. There are also flexible payment options available, including standing orders. We also offer a one week only trial box for new customers (payed for on collection/delivery)

Please note:


Vegetable boxes

The box scheme runs throughout the year and for the majority of that time (minimum 8 months) the box's will be made up of 100% home grown Perry Court Bio-Dynamic vegetables, salads and herbs. 

There may be a few months of the year when supplies of home grown produce have run out or are very low, (vegetables are largely a seasonal product). From several years experience we have found that customers do not like their box's to contain the same few basic veggies every week, and we therefore supplement the box contents through these times with bought in produce. 

Fruit boxes
The fruit boxes are made up of local fruit when available, but like all other box schemes supplying fruit some has to be imported. There is a huge shortage of UK organic fruit and virtually no Bio-Dynamic. We are planting a mixture of soft fruit ourselves this year to further minimise reliance on bought in fruit. 
Our reason for supplying this type of box is that if people want to eat organic fruit, then most would prefer to buy it from somewhere other then a supermarket.

Additions
When selecting fruit and vegetables to supplement the boxes we choose firstly local, then Bio-Dynamic, then UK organic and lastly from abroad if nothing else is available. Through improving our crop storage and increasing our poly tunnel area we are continually trying to minimise this.

 

Not convinced? Then try before you buy.

We offer a trial box for one week 
(normal prices) to help you decide if the system and quanities suits you.
