Local Farm Box   website
Huge range of fresh produce sourced from local farmers, growers and producers
Free delivery available within our catchment area - Monday to Saturday
Next day delivery option for orders that do not include meat
Our weekly boxes are signficantly cheaper than if purchased via the supermarket
Secure online shopping
Local Farm Box is acting as a sales window for the district's farmers and independent producers. Purchasing your fresh vegetables, fruits, salads, meats, bread, cakes and dairy products from Local Farm Box means that you will be directly contributing to the local economy - helping to put the £ back into local producers' pockets. Local Farm Box is confident of beating the supermarket on price - especially for their veg, fruits, salads and herbs. It can call on four generations of experience of trading fresh produce to customers. Locally-sourced produce will be fresher, and therefore tastier than what is offered in the supermarkets. For the more environmentally-conscious, it is clear that the food road miles - i.e. the number of miles from product source to your doorstep - will be far less than the major supermarkets. What's more there is no delivery charge.
