One of our challenges as a small farm is connecting direct with the
customer. Neighbourhood groups make it easier for small farms to
deliver the freshest produce by agreeing to collect them from a single drop off point. It also helps to reduce food miles, support local business and is an opportunity for the group to meet up.
We are delighted that The White Hart in Welwyn has offered to be a
drop off point where people close by can collect their produce boxes weekly. Simply:
1) Sign up to a regular Farm Box. You can tailor the contents and choose exactly how much veg, fruit, meat, eggs and other essentials you need.
2) Collect your box from the White Hart every Friday. Don’t worry if you miss the delivery van, your box will be available for collection until the following morning.
You’ll also be entitled to a 20% discount on workshops, courses and events at the farm and invited to participation days where you can get involved in the life of the farm and see how it’s run and why.
To find out more about the box scheme, Church Farm, and the produce grown on the farm, we are holding an informal ‘info’ meeting at The White Hart, Welwyn from 7pm-8pm on Monday 4th October. Drinks and samples will be available too! If you wish to attend, please call 01438 861 447 or email georgina.hayes@churchfarmardeley.co.uk
