Frequently Asked Questions
About Our Produce
You can buy seasonal, fresh vegetables, eggs and salads grown here at Forglen Farm. Each week we post what is available on our Facebook page. We also offer products from select local producers, whose products we love and think you will too.
All the vegetables, microgreens and eggs, have been grown at our farm. However, we do offer produce from trusted local producers who share our standards.
No, we are not organic certified.
Everything we grow is seasonal, which means product availability changes as the seasons change. We are very much dependent on the weather, and it has a big impact on how much is available and when.
Exceptionally fresh. Most items are harvested within 24 hours of delivery. That's the advantage of small‑scale, local growing.
We recommend you wash everything before eating.
If you have any questions regarding allergens, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We are aiming for our packaging to either be reusable or recyclable. The microgreens packaging and egg boxes are both fully recyclable.
Placing an Order & Payments
Each week we post what's currently available on our Facebook page. You can place your order by messaging us directly on Facebook, emailing us, or using our website's contact form. Just let us know what you would like, and we'll get back to you to confirm!
No, there is no minimum order value.
Rather than offering a mystery veg box, we allow you to pick and choose exactly what you want: a build-your-own box. Items grown or produced at Forglen Farm are eligible for our build-your-own box multi-buy discounts. You can view our current offers page for more details.
When you place an order, we will send you an invoice that you can pay easily by bank transfer. Alternatively, you can pay with cash upon delivery, or we can take a card payment directly when we deliver your order.
Absolutely, we already work with a number of local businesses and are always keen to work with more. If you would like to chat about working together, please get in touch. There is one exception to this: we cannot supply shops/cafes/bakeries etc with eggs.
Subscriptions
We have decided not to offer subscriptions at the moment, but this is something we may offer at a later date.
