Box Schemes South East and London

Box Schemes South East and London

Many don't think of London as an agricultural space, yet our capital now hosts a surprising number of thriving city farms and community growing schemes, many of which run organic box schemes. 

Further afield, the rural South East of England remains a hub for farming, with up to 70% of its land used agriculturally. Flat, fertile soil makes the South East well-suited for lots of different types of farming, supporting a huge number of organic fruit and veg box schemes.
