Special Fruit Boxes for Offices & Nurseries Meat or Fish in Boxes Custom Boxes
We can deliver a box of fresh seasonal, certified organic fruit and vegetables, sourced as locally as possible, to your door - weekly, fortnightly or as and when required. Each week we put together the best of local produce so that you’ll receive a variety of fresh, seasonal, organic food, delivered to you either at your home or your workplace. Delivery is free with orders of fruit and veg of £10 and over. A standard box contains approximately 8 - 10 varieties of produce. Larger boxes are also available, priced £12, £15 or more.
We are a small friendly box scheme offering flexibility,
variety, good
value, a very reliable personal service and we are the only truly local
box scheme in Coventry. We started our box scheme in 1999 and work with
local growers and producers to bring seasonal organic veg, fruit and
salad to you all year round. You can order and change boxes as and when
it suits you or make up your own box from our list of veg, fruit,
salads. You can add on anything from the shop to your box, be it eggs,
milk, yogurt, wholefoods or ecover. No supermarkets, no delivery
charge, no unnecessary packaging and no pesticides - just fresh organic
fruit, vegetables and more.
We deliver between 11am and 6pm on your delivery day. To find out which
day we can deliver to you, drop us an email or call us on 024 7667
7500. You don’t need to be at home. In fact, more than 70% of customers
are out when we deliver. Deliveries are made on a ‘round’ basis on a
set day to maximise efficiency and reduce food miles. However if you
have a regular order you will notice that delivery is often at a
similar time each week – traffic and weather permitting!
You can pay for your box by cash or cheque on delivery or post a cheque
to the shop, pay in person at the shop or over the phone by card. If
easier, you can leave us your card details and we can take payment
weekly or monthly. All card details are of course secured.
Although we always strive to make the most of what can be grown locally
and in the UK, very few people are satisfied with a UK-only box,
particularly in the “hungry gap” of April and May. Some items – such as
tomatoes – have become year round staples. The environmental cost of
bringing them from Southern Europe is much lower than growing them
under heated glass in the UK so we do use some imported produce when
necessary. The small percentage of imported produce we use
annually includes all the citrus and tropical fruit that won’t grow in
this country. The proportion of imported vegetables is around 20% and
we never use any produce that has been air freighted.
Do remember you can tell us what you do and don’t like and can have veg
only ; veg and salad; fruit, veg and salad or just fruit. It’s really
up to you.
Fruit Boxes for
Offices and Nurseries
Also ideal for nurseries and playgroups! A supply of delicious, sweet fruit for the little ones and helpers.
Smaller boxes from £10.00 available.
We also make luxury organic hampers and fruit boxes for delivery as gifts though out the year
Meat boxes: local meat and fish
We deliver meat and fish boxes, either with or without veg boxes. They start at £25 and go upwards in multiples of £5. You are welcome to tell us your favourite meats or cuts and leave out anything you would prefer not to have. Otherwise we will put in a selection of that which is best that week. The meat and fish is usually frozen and comes to you in a fully returnable recyclable box with ice to protect your delivery.
Our suppliers are Elmhurst Farm at Withybrook and we use Graig Farm in Wales for anything we can’t get locally such as salmon and other fish and some wild meats.
Elmhurst has been established for over 10 years and produces its own organic lamb, chicken, beef, and pork as well as turkeys, geese, cockerels and ducks at Christmas. They produce their own sausages and bacon. It is a truly local and high quality supplier.
In short we can supply any meat you require, from sausages, mince, chops, bacon, steaks to breast fillets and whole chickens and joints. We can supply organic salmon, sustainably fished cod, hoki (a white fish and very cheap), prawns, trout, tuna, mackerel, sardines and smoked fish. All of these are available in the shop and any one thing can be added to your delivery, however small. We can supply fresh meat on request.
We have also recently started selling fresh fish which is delivered to us on Fridays.
Custom Boxes
You can also order any combination of food or products which we currently have in stock. Just call us to let us know what you'd like.
