SWEETCORN - BABY - WITH HUSK
Lancashire, England
Aug - Oct
Duncan’s Baby Sweetcorn is worlds apart from the commercial kind, which usually arrives stripped of its husk, trimmed, and packaged. Processed this way, freshness is lost, and much of the edible part never makes it to the plate.
We’ve chosen to harvest the corn at this ‘baby’ stage, bringing you sweetcorn at a maturity that’s rarely seen. Tasting it together in the field, we found an intense sweetness, not just in the kernels, but in the stalk itself, a part usually discarded in full-sized corn.
The season for Organic Sweetcorn is soon approaching now, too.
We’ve been working with Duncan for a number of years now, and his family have been farming organically for over 40 years. Working on a six year rotation, Duncan has records of what was in each field since 1978 and is constantly looking to care for the land in regenerative ways whilst experimenting with new crops.
By committing to organic cultivation techniques, Duncan feeds into the fertility and minerality of his soils, taking the flavour of his vegetables to new heights. Huge diversity comes off his farm in Lancashire; everything from Dragon Shuyo Cucumbers to Baby Leeks and more.

UK HEIRLOOM TOMATOES
London, Hampshire, Kent, Cornwall & Pembrokeshire
Jul - Oct
"Heirloom Tomatoes like these are rare to come by," says Great Fen Farm’s Anthony. "It always feels like such a treat when they start to ripen. A wonderful surprise and a proper slice of late summer." Anthony is one of seven pioneering growers working to bring real flavour back to British tomatoes through our UK Heirloom Tomato Trial.
Our mixed box, which is available to order both online and on the app, brings together 15 unique varieties selected for flavour, not yield. A living expression of diversity. Each carries its own texture, colour and complexity.
Order a mixed box, taste your way through all the varieties, and take part in reshaping the future of food.
In recent years, the push for ‘local’ tomatoes has led to flavourless hybrids grown year-round in artificial conditions. Our project is rewriting that narrative, bringing real seasonality, seed diversity, and exceptional flavour back to British soil.
Our Heirloom Tomatoes are grown in soil by seven committed growers across Britain: from Adam in Pembrokeshire and Laura in Kent, to Oli and Sean in Cornwall, Anthony and Chris in Hampshire, and Wolves Lane in North London.
“Every year, we remove varieties that don’t work so well, and introduce new ones. It’s an ongoing process of refinement,” Will, our UK & Spain Sourcing Manager explains. He sees this as a long-term investment in creating tomatoes that are not only more resilient but also packed with flavour.
“When I see the boxes, it’s rewarding to know that we had a vision about the importance of diversity in farming and we’re delivering a box that really speaks to that.”

COURGETTE - MIXED
Pembrokeshire, Wales
Jul - Sep
Adam's cultivating an impressive range of Courgette varieties this year, including Summer Sun, Alfresco, Sofia, Zephyr, Safari Green and Zelia to name just a few.
They trialled a wide range before settling on these, initially starting every plant from seed in their polytunnels, then planting out into open fields around three weeks later.
Alongside these mixed varieties, Adam grows Romana Courgette too, with harvests also coming in from Great Fen and Laura in Kent.
Adam runs his 25-acre farm within the Pembrokeshire National Park that he set up with his partner, Dee. Adam is driven by an agroecological philosophy: strengthening the ecology around the farm in order to build soil health and resilience while growing flavour-first vegetables.
His ultimate goal is to turn the vegetable production, currently close to 200 varieties of nearly 60 crops, into an agroforestry system, with strips of apple trees interspersed with banks of untilled ground, boosted by cover crops and grasses. Everything is sown from seed on the farm, and Adam often sources heritage varieties from their native regions.

We exist to fix the food system.
People are more cut off from the origins of their food than ever. This makes flavour, nutrition and farming practices that protect the planet, almost impossible to find.
By working directly with growers, we create a more sustainable way forward for farming. By giving everyone the tools to understand the power of our food choices, we empower everybody to become drivers of change.
Now is the time for action. Join the food system revolution.
