The Veg Collective is helping to rebuild local food economies
We believe that changing the way we produce and distribute food is fundamental to solving the world’s most pressing social and ecological problems.
About The Veg Collective
The Veg Collective are a group of farmers from around Mid Ulster who have come together to supply 100 local families with their weekly veg.
This just makes sense to us. We can grow great produce here, so why not buy your vegetables direct from the farm. It will be great value and it will last longer. It won’t be wrapped in plastic or sprayed with preservatives. You will be supporting our farmers to make a proper living doing something that they love. You’ll be reducing your carbon footprint and boosting the diversity of local crops which is good for biodiversity.
Fair prices for farmers and artisan food producers is vital
We pay our suppliers at least 50% of the retail value for any products we buy in, and when dealing with wholesalers, we check to make sure they pay fair prices to their growers.
The benefits of buying local
Local food supports local economies. Food grown in the local community supports local jobs and encourages variety in our diets. It also requires less transportation, so it's fresher and has a smaller environmental footprint.
I'm excited to see local farmers growing for local customers, it helps the farmer get a fairer price and we all get better, fresher food.
