Hughes Organics

Grahame and Lizzie Hughes have been growing organically since 1982. In 1992 they began renting a greenhouse and some land at Walnut Tree farm in Bunwell, Norfolk. In the 1980s Grahame was selling to Supermarkets, but the 1990s recession lead him to seek other markets, becoming a founding member of Eostre Organics (Organic Farmers Co-op for East Anglia). Eostre found its own life span dwindling 6-8 years ago, so Grahame and his wife Lizzie picked up the reins and started a new incarnation of ‘Hughes Organics’, wholesaling produce from East Anglian Organic farmers to London box schemes alongside their own greenhouse-grown produce. These days Grahame and Lizzie have slowed their wholesale work down, but still supply some wonderrful glasshouse produce to us including tomatoes, cucumbers and salad leaves.

The produce has been delicious, and I’ve especially enjoyed cooking with unfamiliar veg such as kohlrabi and globe artichokes (I’m obsessed! So delicious and fun to eat) It’s also been fascinating to read the weekly newsletter.
