OrganicLea is helping to rebuild local food economies
We believe that changing the way we produce and distribute food is fundamental to solving the world’s most pressing social and ecological problems.
About OrganicLea
OrganicLea is an important community hub that provides a range of opportunities for people in the local area to grow and develop skills. We have a mission to improve our community and to inspire wider social change. Through buying from OrganicLea you are helping to support this. Our ‘box scheme’ – paying the same amount every week for a week’s supply of fresh local produce – is the best way of getting hold of good value organically grown produce that’s as local as possible. It’s a shopping choice – but it’s also one of the strongest actions you can take to strengthen the economy of your community and support farmers near you.
Fair prices for farmers and artisan food producers is vital
We pay our suppliers at least 50% of the retail value for any products we buy in, and when dealing with wholesalers, we check to make sure they pay fair prices to their growers.
The benefits of buying local
Local food supports local economies. Food grown in the local community supports local jobs and encourages variety in our diets. It also requires less transportation, so it's fresher and has a smaller environmental footprint.
We feel really excited about the work that’s taking place at Hawkwood. We’re proud to be part of this by receiving fruit and veg from the site, and we look forward to being among the first to taste new products
