Veg Boxes (BAGS!)

Down Farm veg bags are available from June - December. Each week we pick fresh veg and pack a bag full of seasonal delights. Bags are available are available on an ad-hoc basis or in a regular seasonal block for which we offer discounts. Veg Bags are always a good deal: when there are gluts we add a little extra to each, or when certain produce is limited we make sure our boxes get priority. The contents of the bag will vary each week depending on the season and bags are available in two sizes: small box will have 7-9 items and the large will have 8-12 items, and/or greater portion of each item.

Community Supported Agriculture

Community Support Agriculture (CSA) is  is a partnership between farmers and customers in which the responsibilities, risks and rewards of farming are shared. Farmers receive a more stable income and close connection with their community, and customers benefit by eating fresh healthy local food, feeling more connected to the land where their food is grown. 

We are offering CSA shares for the first time in 2020. CSA customers will start receiving their share of veg earlier in the season (Date TBC) and continue to receive a share of veg longer through the winter into 2021, with a break over Christmas. Customers still pay the same price per week as veg boxes but the contents fluctuates with the season.

This model is not for everyone, but for those who would like a weekly share of produce, no matter what we have, and don't mind experimenting in the kitchen, this might be for you! Some weeks you will receive more than the monetary value of your share, and others it will be less. We will always aim for it to balance so you are not out of pocket. 

Price

Small shares £11/week

Large shares £16/week

Discounts are available for paying upfront for the whole season. 

Availability

Shares will be available from Early spring 2020 (TBC) till March 2021, with a hiatus over Christmas and early Jan. 

Share contents

This is very much a seasonal box where you will feel the abundance in the summer, the root crops in winter, and the hungry gap as we approach the new season. 

Volunteering

We can accept hours of volunteering in exchange for a discount on your share. Please contact us if this is of interest to you.
