Veg boxes.

Our veg box scheme has been running since June 2011 without a break, and our boxes have never looked better. Here you can see James, the farm's Produce Distributor, proudly displaying the four sizes of veg box on offer. These are, from the left, small at £7 each, standard at £10, large at £14, and mega at £20. Boxes are available either weekly or fortnightly, and can be collected from the farm or local hubs, or delivered to your door depending on location. Please contact us for more details, by emailing vegbox@bcents.org or phoning 788454.
