There are a few ways of looking at this…
Firstly, compared to supermarket organic food, it’s often cheaper.
Secondly, when we do the budgeting for you – in the box scheme – we get to choose the best value selection for that week so you will always be sure of the most for your money.
and, last but not least… this is the price it costs to grow fruit and vegetables. Without causing lasting damage to our environment, making sure that everybody along the line of production gets a fair price for what they do, and providing a professional service. We cannot do this any cheaper – so if someone is selling it cheaper, somebody somewhere is losing out!
You may be interested to know that when we compared our prices to the same quantity of non-organic vegetables in Asda this year, we were about 20% more expensive. So yes – more expensive – but local, AND organic, AND supporting your neighbours and local economy… That’s worth £2 a week!
