About us

Our Story

Born out of the challenges of the March 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, London Veg Box started as a small family project to help friends and family access fresh, healthy food. What began as a simple act of community support quickly grew into a mission to serve the wider London community and local charities.

We are a small, independent team driven by a passion for good food and a commitment to making a difference. We may not have a large marketing budget, but we have a lot of heart. Our focus is on providing the best possible customer service and building a network of small growers within 100 miles of the capital. We are proud to be a small but mighty team of fantastic individuals, suppliers, and traders, all working together to bring the best of the season to your door.

Our Promise

At London Veg Box, our promise to you is rooted in our commitment to quality, sustainability, and community.

• Local Sourcing: We source over 75% of our produce from local farms within 100 miles of London. This means your food can be on your doorstep in as little as 36 hours from being picked, and we never use air freight.
• Fighting Food Waste: Any surplus produce is donated to local food banks, ensuring that good food never goes to waste.
• Fairness to Farmers: We are committed to paying our suppliers fairly for their hard work and dedication.
• Sustainable Farming: We prioritise sustainable farming practices. While not all of our food is certified organic, all of it is grown by responsible farmers with meticulous care for the land.
• Variety and Flavour: With over 100 varieties of vegetables flourishing on our farms throughout the year, we promise to keep your taste buds inspired with the best of the season.
• Community First: Our London-first values guide all our decisions. From our choice of suppliers to the local good causes we support, we are dedicated to benefiting our community.

Our Growers

We work with a network of incredible growers who share our passion for fresh, flavorful, and sustainably grown produce. Here are just a few of the amazing people behind your veg box:
