Please note! The deadline for guaranteeing your Xmas boxes (for non-regular customers) and any extras (for both regular and non-regular customers) officially closed as of the 11th December.
However, if you would like to see if we still have any availability, please get in touch. We’ll do our very best to help.
A very merry 2024 Organic Christmas and a happy New Year (in advance!) from Sonia, Linda, Ian, and Annie.
We’re delighted to share our veg and fruit delivery dates over the coming Christmas period — the final boxes of 2024!
Are you a Stroud market customer? Pre-order all your Christmas organic fruit and veg needs and collect them — boxed and ready — from our market stall on Saturday 21st December. (We are NOT attending the final Christmas extra market on 24th December.)
No deliveries between Christmas and New Year
As usual, we will not deliver any veg boxes between Christmas and New Year. So, unless you have put your order on hold, every customer (* except monthly – see below) will receive a final special veg box delivery of the year to cover the entire Christmas period, as follows:
Weekly customers:
- If you normally get your box on a Tuesday, we will deliver on: MONDAY 23rd DECEMBER
- If you normally get your box on a Wednesday, we will deliver on: TUESDAY 24th DECEMBER
Fortnightly customers:
Fortnightly customers will receive a delivery—even if it is not your usual week—as we will not make any deliveries between Christmas and New Year. Fortnightly customers will receive approximately half the quantities listed in the table below. Please note: Fortnightly boxes will not include garlic and lemon, so if you would like these please order as ‘extras’. (See ‘Ordering Extras’ below.)
* Monthly customers:
Important: If you have a monthly box you will not receive a delivery before Christmas unless you order it as extra. We will deliver your next monthly box on the first Tuesday or Wednesday of the New Year (see Restarting Deliveries in 2025 below). Please contact us if this is a problem, or if you are a fortnightly customer and not sure if you are due a delivery the first week back.
