Enfield Veg Co. is a veg bag delivery scheme run by staff and volunteers at Forty Hall Farm in Enfield. The Farm is part of Capel Manor College, London’s only college dedicated to land-based further education. Students from the College help out on the Farm’s market garden, while Farm staff manage the packing and delivery of the veg bags.
Our aim is to make locally-grown, organic produce more accessible to people living in Enfield. Much of the produce sold in our bags is grown on Forty Hall Farm, with other produce being bought in from local growers. We have been running since November 2013 and currently deliver to eight collection points across the borough of Enfield. Our customers sign up on a monthly basis and choose to receive a small, medium or large veg bag once a week.
As well as being one of the Growing Communities Start-Ups, Enfield Veg Co. has been supported by Enfield Council and the Greater London Authority as part of the Garden Enfield project, which has sought to promote training and employment within horticulture and food production.
