Box Scheme

Box of produce from the side

Box of produce from above
A box costs £12. We provide a strong wooden box (deposit of £10 required) and it is filled with approx £13 of vegetables - usually a bit more. The amount of vegetables (and/or fruit when available) we estimate would supplement a family of 4 for several days. The empty box is returned and a full one provided next time.

You will almost always get 2kg Potatoes, 500g Onions & 500g Carrots plus a variety of other seasonal vegetables.

The majority of the produce is grown on our farm, but to add to the variety each week we do occasionally buy in from other local organic producers. And very, very occasionally we pop in some fruit from further a field, supplied by a local organic cooperative.

A bag costs £8 and is designed for the smaller household or a weekend. You will almost always get 1kg Potatoes & 500g Carrots plus a variety of other seasonal vegetables.

We also sell organic Eggs, Flour and Honey collected on the farm which can be supplied with your box/bag.

We are happy to accommodate non-weekly boxes or bags - a number of customers receive boxes fortnightly. Also it is easy to skip a scheduled box/bag; we just need to know by the Tuesday, before the Friday that you wish to cancel.

Currently we are focusing on central drop off points, where a number of boxes are delivered to one location and customers collect from there. At the moment we have points in Woodbridge (private address), Hasketon (Grange Farm Shop), Framlingham (Elizabeths ladies wear), Southwold (Post Office) & Snape Maltings (House & Garden section).

We also have collections here at the farm between 3-5:30pm on Fridays.

Payment should be made at the time of receiving a box, although some customers choose to pay for a month upfront. Cheques should be made payable to "Maple Farm".
