What's the idea?
We want to make great local food fairly-priced, convenient and accessible to more people in and around Oxford.
Instead of having a fixed shop, Cultivate is taking local food on the road in the VegVan. In collaboration with customers and members we'll be running regular pop-up markets in neighbourhoods and workplaces, creating new outlets for local produce all over the city.
Everything on the VegVan will be grown by Cultivate or sourced as locally as possible from other organic farmers. Customers will know that they're supporting sustainable food, minimising impact on the environment by reducing food miles, avoiding pesticides and artificial fertilisers and protecting ecosystems.
Above all, Cultivate is about bringing people together from around Oxford to push local food forward in practical ways.
As well as supplying the VegVan, our farm, 9 miles south of Oxford, will be open to visitors and volunteers and will be a space for education and training.
By being both producers and grocers, we want to act as a bridge to bring customers and local growers closer together.
