We can cope with minor alterations to the individual boxes such as no onions or no brassicas.

Simply order individual products and we will make up your box.

We believe that reusing packaging as often as possible is the best solution for environmental and resource usage reasons. So please return all packaging to our driver at your next delivery.

Donating your order to the Highland Hospice.

Some of our customers choose to donate their order to the Highland Hospice – in this way continuing to pay for their repeating order and donating organic produce/other items to the hospice. The hospice and their kitchen are absolutely delighted to receive a donation of organic produce in this way. Just email us to say that you wish to donate your missed order/s.

We deliver weekly to most areas, and some areas fortnightly, with our own vehicles. Other areas are sent by courier weekly at an extra charge.

Organic farming is a system of producing food by working with nature and natural processes. This is different from other systems that attempt to fight against nature using artificial fertilisers, chemicals, poisons, genetic modifications.

Organic food contains more vitamins, trace minerals and cancer-fighting antioxidants. Also, organic food does NOT contain residues of pesticides, insecticides and other toxic chemicals used in non-organic systems. Additives such as hydrogenated fat, aspartame and monosodium glutamate are banned.

No system of farming has higher standards of animal welfare than organic farms. The intensive confinement of farm animals is banned and the inhumane cruelty along with unhealthy conditions of factory farming, can be avoided.

As our precious soil is a living organism, organic farming standards ensure that soil fertility conditions are improved.  Pollution from toxic sprays and nasty chemicals are avoided as they damage both wildlife and our environment.

Organic farming produces less carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide which are dangerous global warming gases. In addition, the soil on organic farms stores much more carbon from the air. A change to organic food production will help greatly in fighting climate change. Therefore, buying organic food is one of the steps one should take for our planet’s survival.
