What's new?
Our new veg range is taking shape nicely. Things are available in small quantities because we're very much feeling our way in this brave new world of *guess what people will want next week*, but at least we do have the basics again, and even some extras.
The range has started small, because we need to see how things go, and we'll try to buy things like salad leaves from local producers - and through the seasons, we'll still do our best to buy as local as possible.
Riverford have managed to find some sweet peppers now but things are just really difficult for veg growers in the UK and across Europe as a whole - even though it's rained here, crops take time to grow.
If you order & then find you can't pick your order up - for whatever reason - email us on deanforestfood@gmail.com (or reply to your order confirmation) and let us know - most pickup points can stay open late, and some can even hold your box til the next day. If necessary we'll try to organise home delivery if we can.
By the way, you can sign up to get an email reminding you to order on Mondays here . If you don't find it, check your spam folder - but I'm afraid some servers just bounce off automated emails and there's not much we can do about that.
