We're a small local farming company that supplies soft fruit and vegetables to its subscribers in the form of a weekly box all year round. Our crops are grown by organic methods, without the use of any pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilisers. Because we are a local company growing for local people, our service cuts out distributors and retailers, resulting in subscribers getting cost-price vegetables and soft fruit. We encourage our subscribers to become involved in the growing of their food and offer a discount if they come to the field to help with labour-intensive tasks such as weeding and soft fruit picking. Over three-quarters of our subscribers choose to do workshifts... and they all seem to enjoy the experience! Subscriber help with workshifts is central to EarthShare's success - without such help we would not be able to farm organically.
