June 2010- FRESH Veg Boxes update
Throughout the height of summer and early autumn 100% of produce in the FRESH boxes came from Ecoworks FRESH Market Garden in St.Anns, with some surplus produce supplied by St.Anns Allotment holders through the ‘Growers Network’.
With very little to harvest from the gardens during the winter, we often source box produce from local farms through a wholesale provider; Maxey’s at Brickfield Farm near Southwell. We only purchase produce which is from Nottinghamshire and bordering counties, and by continuing the veg box scheme through the winter months, we are able to continue to raise the importance of local seasonal produce and build our connections and support for local food producers.
