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 Pitfield Veg
Pitfield veg is a one person run Farm, Sophie. HI! I grow on half an acre in the heart of Sussex, Hurstpierpoint without the use of heavy machinery or pesticides. I have lived in the village on and off over the past 10 years without ever intending to and I am happy to back once more. My formal training in craft and design has always been shaped by my values around environmental and social sustainability, imagining a world, where we give what we take and where we have what we need. On the land I get to apply these values of planet- and people care. I find a lot of joy in working in rhythm of the season and being able to share the result with everyone locally: Good quality, nutritious food! I harvest early in the mornings as the sun rises to prepare boxes on the same day for ultimate freshness.
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.
Ooooby is a magical addition to my life. Beautiful fresh fruit and vegetables ... at an affordable cost and a chance to support local growers.It's a no brainer really!
