Starting a Veg Box scheme (UK) ONLINE

Suitable for all food growers and market gardeners, landowners and people thinking of setting up their own veg box scheme.

This is an online workshop - we also run this in person in Berkshire, or can run within your venue UK wide by request. See our event list to see all courses offered.

Please note, as a small non-profit organisation, it's not sustainable to offer refunds.

If you need to cancel your place up to one month of the course, you will be offered a credit towards another workshop.

After that time, we can only offer a credit if we have been able to re-sell your place on the course.

This workshop is designed to give you an introduction to the concept of Veg Box schemes in the UK.

Many people we speak to want to start a veg box scheme and we can show you all the usual pitfalls, cost savings and quick wins for planning your own.

We offer a seasonal veg box plan, as well as planting plans and sowing calendars.

We will show you a number of examples and talk through the concept of designing a veg box scheme.

We have worked with box schemes of 8 per week right up to 600 per week.

The benefit of this knowledge will give you a head start for your own scheme.

*Booking onto one of our courses adds you to our mailing list, you can opt out at any time, or email us to request you're not added. We don't share your details externally, and only use them for our own newsletter.*
