'Truly Organic From Plough To Plate.'

The rise in popularity of organic food in recent years has been outstanding, and it is encouraging to see British consumers are putting lot more consideration into such an essential part of our lifestyle. However, in all the excitement of supplying this demand many people seem to have missed the point of what organic food is all about. The organic food that you can buy in the supermarkets may bear the organic certification symbols, but activities like processing, packaging, profit motivated sales, and above all importing, are neither sustainable or in keeping with the true principles of organic production. Any consumer who is truly enthusiastic about organic food will recognise the importance of buying food locally. After all, what's the point of putting so much care and attention into producing food in an environmentally friendly manner if all that hard work will be undone the moment it leaves the farm?
The premis of the Cambridge Organic Food Co. is simple. We aim to provide you with organic fruit and vegetables that have been produced in your local area, via a method of supply that is environmentally considerate at every stage, from the moment the seed is sown to the moment it arrives at your door. As well as supplying the type of produce you want to buy, we try to be the kind of business you would want to buy from.

A great deal of effort is put into recycling any reusable materials and minimising wastage. Energy efficiency is also considered very highly
We are open and honest about the produce we supply and the people who grow it. Our regular newsletter, and this website, provide a closer link between you and the grower. You will even get the opportunity to visit some of our organic farms on our 'organic farm tours'.
Being a small, local business, you can be confident that the money you spend will go to the people who have worked hard to provide your food. In turn we try to support other businesses and charities that we feel are worthwhile.
Most of the produce we use is bought directly from local organic farms. We have a very close working relationship with the growers, including some of the most prestigious individuals in the organic industry.

Our association with many of our region's organic growers is our greatest asset. The contents of our boxes are therefore a genuine representation of the local area's organic production. Our goal is to provide a local market for all of the produce from the farms from which we buy. Every member of our box scheme makes a significant difference to the local rural economy, and towards reaching this goal.
It's a question of choice. As long as consumers recognise the relevance of our service we will continue to provide a truly organic alternative for buying organic food.
