Local & Mail Order Suppliers of Organic Food

Recommended Posts

I think I recommended this one already on another thread - but oh well! The Organic Farm Shop near Cirencester is well worth a visit:

http://www.theorganicfarmshop.co.uk

They grow their own veg, raise own meat, eggs and milk. Stock ecofriendly cleaning products, organic cotton linen and undies and all sorts of organic toilettries and make-up. Also their cafe is fab, they have a woodland walk and yurts are available to hire for camping on their grounds.

We get our veg boxes from here Woodlands farm They do fruit boxes, meat boxes and lots of other extras too, their website says they deliver throughout Lincolnshire and surrounding counties. They are very friendly and will tailor your boxes to your needs ie; if you don't like something let them know and they'll put something else in instead, all the produce is lovely,

Have discovered a FANTASTIC vegetable and meat delivery service, for Bderwickshire. There is a fabulous veggie shop in Duns called Borders Fayre, and they have teamed up with various local businesses - butchers, game shop, bakers etc, and have a delivery service - fantastic quality of produce, and same day delivery if you order before mid-day!

We have recently been ordering a weekly veggie and salad box, plus bread, cheese etc. from Karen at http://www.avidorganics.co.uk/

She is based in Sheffield, and delivers roughly along the M62 as far as Huddersfield-ish - see website for details. I have found her to be very reliable and flexible, and can recommend.

We've found it has been very good for us to have a selection of new and different items to try each week, it has made us experiment more and we've discovered some new favourites.

Our veg comes from Harroway Organics in Whitchurch (the Hampshire one - seems like there are an awful lot of Whitchurches around, as I know there is another organic farm that does all sorts - meat, veg, bread and flour etc. near Reading). Mandy is the owner with her husband, Steve, and it is a small place, but so tasty things. Her strawberries may be small but my goodness, the flavour!!! Some things are sourced from elsewhere when her produce isn't available. Very nice people.

 

For meat - Laverstoke farm near Overton. Yummy buffalo things (that are for an occasional treat unless you want to break the bank). They also do veg (don't think it is theirs), but I am rather loyal to Mandy.

 

Other things come from Organically Speaking in Hartley Wintney.

we tried riverford in a desperate attempt to find someone local in sussex to deliver what i thought might be sussex produce

...however riverford opporate as a franchise so the quality of service can vary from area to area , though all thier produce is sourced from farms across the south it seems (still better than lesscos)... (it seems farnborough have a good un'!!)

anyhoo...we had a few deliveries...some so full of greenfly that it must have been apparent when it was packed. So after mentioning our dissapointment and not getting any offer back we went off to abel and cole :D

....that was 8 weeks ago and frankly i wouldnt be without it....the two of us spend about 15-20 a week with them...they do general cuboard bits, dairy...allsorts so with that and a small organic veg box (which is 7.99!) it covers us for at least a week.

They deliver spot on time every week...if you order cheese one week it doesnt appear the next unless you ask so no surprises.

They debit the monies automatically so no having to go out of my way to pay for it...so all is good.

I have some great butchers around me and im 100 yards from the beach so meat and fish are a plenty....though i would still love to get some sussex meat from somewhere
