About us
At Growing Places, part of Realise Futures, every activity provides purpose and an opportunity to develop for our team of adults with disabilities. The fruit of their labour is the Box of Veg delivery scheme, where year-round growing, harvesting, weighing and packing culminates in your order landing directly at your doorstep.
Our team take great pride in providing a friendly, reliable, and quality service that contributes to the health of our local community, local environment, and local economy.

FAQs
Here are some of the questions you’ve asked. If you cannot find the answer you are looking for then please contact us and we will be happy to help.
Where does my produce come from?
Your produce is grown onsite by our team and supplemented by fresh, seasonal produce sourced from our local suppliers. When you buy from Growing Places, you are not only supporting our social business, but other local growers and suppliers too.
Why not try some of the other local products on offer? See the products section for our latest selection.
Can I choose what goes in my box?
Providing fresh, seasonal and local produce means that availability and cost effectiveness change on a weekly basis. Contents are carefully selected each week to ensure your boxes the best possible value for money. Our customers love the surprise factor – join us on Facebook to share recipe ideas with produce from your latest box.
I am not at home during the day, can you still deliver to me?
Yes, just let us know where you want your order to be left and our delivery team will leave it in a safe place.
How soon will I get my delivery after I order?
We will always do our best to deliver to you the same week. Our cut off for orders is by the Monday of the same week you want the delivery. Due to contents allocation on a Friday, however, any orders received over the weekend and into Monday will be treated on a first come first served basis.
Can I cancel or pause my delivery at any time?
Yes, just give us as much notice as possible. Our customer portal allows you to input holiday dates which will automatically put a temporary pause on your order. If you don’t have portal access, then you can call or email us.
Can I choose my delivery day?
To continue to provide free delivery, we’ll need to schedule your delivery into the most appropriate day, route, and delivery zone for your address. Alternatively, if you’d prefer to collect your box, you’re welcome to from any of our collection points.
I live outside of your delivery areas, can I pay an extra charge to have a box delivered?
Unfortunately, not. To ensure the adults we support can engage with all aspects of the service, we cannot deliver further than our set delivery areas. If you’d still like to receive an order, we look forward to seeing you at one of our collection points.
