Hello!

We’re Local Greens a local, not-for-profit enterprise that provides customers with weekly, seasonal organic or unsprayed veg bags. Our closest grower is in Sutton, Surrey and for most of the year, we source our produce from 6 farms within a 100-mile radius of London. We also launched a seasonal UK-only fruit bag in December 2016, which has seen a great uptake.

Our overall aim is to promote sustainable food that we believe is the key to a secure and ethical food future for the UK. We partner with over 20 local venues, from pubs to cafes, allotments and local businesses to act as collection points. Each Thursday we drop our veg off at each venue where customers can then collect, reducing our carbon footprint whilst also encouraging connection of customers to like-minded businesses and building community.

We’d love to offer our service to residents of SE23 and have recently launched a collection point at The Chandos Pub which we are really happy about. We cross promote whenever the opprtunity presents itself so you have the chance to regularly include your marketing in our newsletter, across social and in the fruit and veg bags themselves.

If you’re a small, local business and feel you could help us out we’d love to hear from you. We do all the work, you act as the colleciton point. We have outdoor storage solutions or can provide hooks, shelves etc for indoor storage solutions. If you would like to find out a bit more please email Caroline on hello@localgreens.net
