Urban Kitchen, in Reigate’s bustling town centre, is the latest community-conscious cafe to pledge their support for Sutton Community Farm by becoming a “pick-up point” for their not-for-profit VegBox Scheme.
Now, residents in the Redhill and Reigate area are able to use the farm’s website to purchase a weekly bag or box of fresh, seasonal and locally grown vegetables and choose for them to be delivered free-of-charge to Urban Kitchen @ No 7 on Reigate Church street, where they can collect on Fridays from 12 – 6pm or on Saturdays from 9am – 6pm.
What’s more, if customers purchase a drink when they pick-up their Sutton Community Farm VegBox, they’ll get a double stamp on their Urban Kitchen loyalty cards – an incentive introduced by Urban Kitchen’s owner Barry Wickens to further show his support for the farm’s VegBox scheme. Barry explains,
“At Urban Kitchen we take pride in sourcing the very best local ingredients, from people we know and like, to serve only the finest of products. Our philosophy is simple: to serve fresh and delicious food and drink that is of the highest quality, and to do so with a smile.
With this in mind, it’s a great pleasure to announce that we have become a local pick-up point in the Reigate & Redhill area for Sutton Community Farm’s weekly VegBox scheme. We urge our customers to support this community-led, not-for-profit food project offering local residents the best fresh and seasonal, organically grown, sustainable produce.”
Laura Jean Sargent, the manager of the Sutton Community Farm’s VegBox Scheme Project had her very first jaunt working for a local food business with a summer job at Urban Kitchen, not longer after it opened in 2005. Laura Jean says;
“It’s a lovely feeling to go back to your old boss and find a new way of working together that’s mutually relevant, especially on a project that we both feel strongly about. I’m incredibly pleased to have Urban Kitchen’s support as they’re such an established and much loved part of the town centre.”
