Eostre Organics
Some of the produce we sell that we do not grow here is bought
from Eostre Organics. They are a cooperative of organic growers
from the East of England region. We also sell wholesale crops to them. Their website includes details of growers (both local
and overseas) and some stories of how vegetables are produced.
Soil Association

people who inspect us each year. Their website includes lots of
information about organic growing, food, the environment and news
updates.

Research Association)
