Home Grown Here is a veg box scheme delivering a wide variety of fruit and veg year-round to your door. Our crops are grown by a co-operative of Cumbrian farmers and growers in their fields and polytunnels across the county. Together we’re building a more sustainable food system for Cumbria.
We believe that simple changes to how veg and fruit is grown, bought and consumed can transform our food system for the better and play a vital role in helping Cumbria reach and sustain carbon neutral beyond 2037.
There’s one really simple thing that everyone can do right now to play their part in tackling climate change … and that’s to join their local grower-led veg box scheme!
We aim to grow food using methods that are kind to the environment, which reduce emissions, promote biodiversity and re-connect local people to the land on which their food is grown.
We’re seeking to shorten supply chains, keep waste and food miles to a minimum and use little, no or non-plastic packaging. We’re also striving to use more renewable resources in the production, processing, transport and storage of our produce.
Home Grown Here encourages and supports the growers in its co-operative by providing a direct route-to-market for their crops, bulk purchasing of materials, advice and skills sharing, access to grants through working together, propagation of plug plants and a bank of tools and machinery.
