Veg Box
Local, organic vegetable delivery in County Durham
The veg box scheme has been supplying the local community with seasonal, organic veg and fruit for over 20 years. Customers can choose from different sized boxes packed with fresh produce harvested from Abundant Earth's 1-acre garden.
We plan and maintain the veg crops for the year with the help of local volunteers. We choose what to grow based on what thrives well. We feel strongly that small-scale local farms like Abundant Earth can be part of the solution to our broken food systems.
We oversee the packing of the veg bags, customer accounts and communications, and coordinate the weekly delivery of organic produce to pickup points around Durham City. If you’d like to order a weekly veg bag, fill in the form below and we will get in touch with you!
In a typical week, Lauren and Wilf harvest and pack enough to supply 60 households with fresh, seasonal vegetables and fruit.
What veg will I get in my bag?
The produce in the bags is seasonal, and varies as the UK harvest changes throughout the year.
Register your interest in a delicious weekly veg bag and we’ll be in touch…
The Garden
An organic market garden built on the principles of Permaculture
The Abundant earth Veg Box Scheme offers the option of low impact, organic vegetables to the local people of Durham. The organic methods of growing mean healthier, cleaner vegetables and in turn this has a positive impact on the soil and wider ecosystem.
Volunteer
Join our team of Garden Volunteers
Spend time outside moving your body, touching the soil, breathing fresh air and listening to the birdsong while meeting other amazing people in your local community that have a similar desire to grow food and be in nature.
If you have a keen interest in growing food organically, then there is lots of learning and enjoyment to be had at Abundant Earth.
Tasks and Learning on a typical day…
Someone who volunteers regularly would learn all about the life cycle of different plants and their needs from seed to harvesting. Additionally, how to take care of the plants and soil using organic, low impact methods, our composting system and seed saving, herb use/harvesting/drying and much more.
As a volunteer, you would be contributing to an alternative food growing movement in the Durham area. Small scale, local, organic, hand grown & harvested. Peaceful anarchy against the way food is generally grown that damages our bodies, soil, environment & ecosystem.
Lunch - a potluck buffet with contributions from everyone (OR bring your own lunch if that’s more appropriate for you) and a cuppa. Help is always appreciated for setting out and clearing away lunch stuff.
