Our pre-ordering system ensures crops are picked to order so they are fresher than any other supplier and there’s absolutely no food waste. Crops are sold loose with minimal packaging and we welcome the return of our boxes for re-use. Many of the crops require hand-picking which means people instead of machines are in the fields which is better for the environment. This also means more jobs, stronger communities and more money being spent in the local economy. Keeping Cumbria’s home-grown produce here in the county reduces food miles, helps us to eat seasonally and is brilliant news for Cumbria’s carbon footprint.
