Support Local People and Initiatives

Our produce isn’t just local; our impact is too. We create jobs in the community, operate collection points at independent businesses, and give back through partnerships with local food banks and community kitchens. When you buy from us, you’re not only eating well—you’re ensuring that your neighbours do too.

Quick Stats:

90% of our staff live locally, supporting community resilience.
We work with Lambeth & Brixton Food Bank
We partner with small local businesses as collection points
We pay London Living Wage as a minimum

What does this mean?
Every pound you spend stays in the community, supporting fair wages and ensuring surplus produce reaches those who need it most.

A Fair Price for Real Food

Supermarkets squeeze farmers to the bone, often leaving them with less than 14p for every £1 of produce sold. We believe in a fairer food system. By joining us, you’re ensuring farmers receive a fair price for their produce - often 50p per pound - directly supporting their ability to grow sustainably and pay their workers fairly.

The Difference:

Enables small farms to stay in business.
Encourages sustainable farming methods.
Farmers get a fair reward for quality produce.

Real impact: When farmers thrive, they invest back into their land and communities, making the food system more robust and resilient for all. Without farmers, it's ridiculous to talk about “food security”.

Reducing Our Environmental Footprint

From field to plate, our supply chain is designed to minimise environmental impact. We focus on low-carbon deliveries, avoid plastic packaging, and only source from farms using regenerative practices.

Planet First:

50% lower carbon footprint compared to conventional supply chains.
Organic farming uses 26% less energy than non-organic methods.
Protects soil health and reduces water pollution.

Your impact: Every veg bag supports farming that actively restores the environment rather than depleting it.

Eat with the Seasons

Eating seasonally isn’t just good for you—it’s good for nature. By working with the natural rhythms of growth, we avoid the need for energy-intensive hothouses or long-haul transport. Our vegetables are grown to their natural cycles, bringing you produce when it’s at its best.

Why Seasonal?

Fresher and tastier.
Promotes biodiversity by rotating crops.
Reduces reliance on unsustainable farming methods.

The takeaway: Eating seasonally means more diverse crops, healthier soil, and less disruption to local ecosystems.
