Why join the Growing Local Veg Box scheme?
Its more than just a veg box, its a community
Growing Local is dedicated to strengthening local food resilience by producing fruit and vegetables that are grown sustainably and supplied through short, local supply chains. Our work is part of a wider global movement to protect food and seed sovereignty and to build community resilience through agro-ecological and regenerative growing practices.
What are the benefits for you?
Support your health
by eating fresh, healthy and nutritious local food
Our veg boxes are 100% ORGANIC
Our vegetables are grown in outdoor field areas and undercover in four large polytunnels. We have now planted a separate heritage orchard between the cycle path and railway to grow future fruit and nuts. At certain times of the year we work with other local organic growers to cover any shortfall from the farm and maintain the quality and variety in your boxes.
Have access to fresh air, sunshine, the earth & good company through our members opens days, volunteer days and socials.
Join a community
Build social connections with like minded people.
Growing Local follows the principles of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). CSAs are a partnership between those who eat the food and those who grow it to ensure that fresh, local, sustainably grown vegetables are available for the local community. It is an opportunity for everyone to invest and share in the production of our local food and enjoy a variety of vegetables through every season
We hold regular monthly community days as well as a weekly Volunteer days every Tuesday- come along, see where your veg is grown, build friendships and share skills

Reduce your environmental impact
by buying local veg that has been grown using techniques that respect and support biodiversity and nature.
Our priority is to look after the soil, sequestering carbon and enriching soil life through cover crops, mixed cropping, mulching and minimal tillage. We have increased plant cover and wildlife corridors by planting up to 4,000 shrubs, hedgerow, coppice, fruit and standard trees for pollinators and natural predators. ‘Natural’ areas within the site will be left to encourage hedgehogs, amphibians, insects, birds, bees and butterflies to predate on pests and pollinate our fruit and vegetables.
