Kent Veg Box

We are Kent's ONLY veg box company that uses exclusively Kent veg; we are the only truly Seasonal and Local veg box scheme. Indeed 99% of all our other produce is from Kent producers, just a bit of citrus over the winter is our only import.

Why is this important?

Food Miles

Low food miles equals low emissions, it is that simple. No one can fix climate change by themselves. We all need to do our little bit where we can. If we all do a little bit, it can add up to a lot.

Local Economy

Did you know (according to the New Economics Foundation) £1 pound spent locally can 'multiply' in the local economy? This means if you spend your £1 with us it goes round the locally economy several times, helping everyone, rather than disappearing to a Head Office in London or overseas. 95% of our spending stays local.

Nutritional Half-Life.

Did you know veg has a nutritional half-life? This means once cropped the vitamins and other goodness in the veg starts to degrade. The longer it takes before you scoff it, the less nutrition it has. Studies at Penn State University have shown that Spinach can degrade by 50% in 8 days. Low food miles means our spinach is never more than 3 days old when you get it.

Packaging

By only using local suppliers we have no need for packaging to protect the produce from weather or dirt during long transport trips.

Do Your Bit

If you want to do your bit, if you want to help the local economy, if you want fresh, nigh nutrition food, then Kent Veg Box is your best option.
