Buying our produce

We are now selling direct to local people in Cardiff via our box scheme, and to restaurants.

We have now established a 'vegetable box' scheme, whereby we fill the boxes with our own seasonal produce, topped up with local bought-in organic produce as required (more to begin with, less as the site becomes more productive).

We prepare the boxes at central locations, where you can pick them up - at present at St Catherine's church hall in Kings Rd Pontcanna, on Thursday evening between 6 and 7pm. There are a couple of other workplace drop-off points (ask us).

We are undergoing organic certification with the Soil Association and will be accredited in January 2012. Meanwhile, the site is being managed entirely on organic principles.

2011 has started slowly but now we are in full flow and the cropping plan looks very tasty!

Boxes are charged at £40 per month for a weekly box, or £38 for shareholders. The boxes include at least 5 seasonal veg plus potatoes, carrots and onions or leeks. It's fantastic value and as fresh as it gets! Here's a recent (April 2011) picture of the box contents:
