Northdown Orchard is helping to rebuild local food economies

We believe that changing the way we produce and distribute food is fundamental to solving the world’s most pressing social and ecological problems.

About Northdown Orchard

Northdown Orchard is a small organic family farm of just 12 acres. We grow and harvest a wide range of salads, herbs and vegetables all year round in our fields and greenhouses. All fresh produce is harvested, packed and delivered on the same day – only possible with small grower-operated box deliveries.

Fair prices for farmers and artisan food producers is vital

We pay our suppliers at least 50% of the retail value for any products we buy in, and when dealing with wholesalers, we check to make sure they pay fair prices to their growers.

The benefits of buying local

Local food supports local economies. Food grown in the local community supports local jobs and encourages variety in our diets. It also requires less transportation, so it's fresher and has a smaller environmental footprint.
