We grow fruit and veg on our farm and buy additional produce from other organic farmers that we sell via our online farm shop. Everything is seasonal and fresh, and all of the food has been grown in harmony with nature without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilisers.
Ordering
Farm customers can order VegBoxes as well as individual portions of fruit and veg, eggs, bread, honey, grains and pulses from our online shop.
Orders need to be placed in advance, and our ordering deadline is midnight on Sunday for deliveries and collections the following week.
New customers need to set up an account with us, which you can do here.
You’ll need to add payment details via your account before we can process any orders, but once you have created your account and added payment details you are ready to add items to your order!
Items that you add to your order, as once only, or at a frequency will then appear in the Your Orders panel. Any items in this panel will be processed and delivered to your home or your chosen pick up point for that week.

Our Business Model
Sutton Community Farm is a community enterprise, owned and run by the community.
Volunteers from the local community work together to achieve the bulk of the work each week, giving their time to a project they believe is worthwhile. The majority of income for the farm comes from online sales through our shop – it is fundamental to the ongoing success of the farm.
The farm aims to be profitable and financially self-reliant, and any surplus trading income is reinvested in the farm. This enables more opportunities for the community, such as training schemes for new food growers or volunteering opportunities for people with learning disabilities.
By selling organic food from other farms and suppliers, we can offer a greater variety of produce to our customers. This business model also helps to support more organic farmers’ livelihoods and contributes to building a more sustainable food system. We pay our farmers and suppliers a fair price for well-produced food that respects the environment. We also prioritise minimising packaging and reducing food waste.
