• On Garden Friends Farm Shop and Vegetable Box Scheme:

  Posted on 1st of July 2009

  Many people have organic veg boxes these days which are great except that most of the produce is flown in from the other side of the world! What are we doing? It's crazy. We need to return to living with the seasons, eat local foods and supporting our growers before they go out of business. This is what Garden Friends does for me, so thank you, and thank you too to the organic growers who supply them but are too small to go for the official Soil Association stamp. The new garden centre shop is great. With local sausages, cheese, fruit & veg, you could do all your weekly food shop there. My only suggestion for improving the service? Why not stock locally produced toilet rolls and then it could be bye bye Tesco & hello Garden Friends!
