Beschrijving

At The Veg Box we want to provide healthy local produce by bridging the gap that has grown over the last 40 years between farmers of the land and consumers of the food.

We believe that produce grown in a simpler, less industrialized way, creates food for healthier family meals. This is the basis of all well-being and therefore through our choices we can begin to see the change that is needed for a sustainable agricultural system and future generation’s health.

Choosing naturally grown, pesticide-free, organic, locally grown produce builds stronger communities by supporting those who are at the root of our food system. It is imperative that we support those who work the land in a traditional and non-exploitive way.
Adjusting the size of our weekly shopping basket as well as understanding the process and product could make all the difference to a healthier society and planet.

Where does the produce come from?
We currently work with two providers: Villa Bologna Gardens and a Certified Organic Farmer in the North of the Island. Sourcing the produce through reliable and trust worthy farmers, who understand the importance of this initiative, is fundamental.

The produce grown at Villa Bologna and what we bring in from the other farm is limited. We may be in-between seasons and produce becomes limited. At The Veg Box, we also choose to harvest daily and ensure that the produce will be homed that same day.

Updates and Pre-Ordering a Veg Box
Weekly emails will keep you updated with the list of seasonal produce available for that coming week. You may pre order a box if you wish or have produce put aside.

Location
The Veg Box shop is located at the entrance to Villa Bologna Working Estate and Gardens, Attard. 30 metres down from the Ceramika Maltija Shop.

Boxes and Bags
We like to Recycle/Reuse. Bringing your own bag is advisable, however we usually have some spare ones. Should anyone have any boxes or bags that are suitable for vegetables please feel free to bring them.

Price
With regards to the pricing of the vegetables we are following the farmer’s guideline prices. These may change slightly depending on the size and quality. Providing this service and remaining sustainable is our only objective
