our policies

 

Low food miles are important to us. We always source our produce from local growers, farmers and producers wherever possible.

 

Carrier bags are available but we'd prefer if you could use the more environmentally friendly options we offer. You're welcome to take our old produce boxes which are also handy for use in the shed afterwards! We also have brown paper bags in the shop and we sell a small range of 'bags for life'.

 

Composting any produce which is not up to our high standards allows us to recover valuable nitrates to use as soil fertiliser.

 

Rain water collection allows us to minimise the amount of demand we place on the mains water supply.

 

Don't forget, not only do our policies make sense from an environmental and local prosperity point of view, but they also help us to keep our costs down and pass these savings onto you.  That way, everyone wins!
