About us

We Love Local is a Sussex-based company, operating from a small farm near Henfield.
 
Founded in 2007 by three Brighton-based friends, Mel, Huw & Bob, the company started out as a casual vegetable box scheme which quickly grew to include other products and serve the catering trade as well.
 
Everyone in the company is passionate about local food and supporting local farmers and producers from Sussex and across the south east. Wherever possible, we buy directly from the farmer or grower, offering them a fair price over and above the prices they might receive from a supermarket or traditional wholesaler.
 
Our farmers               
We work closely with the people we buy from, giving them plenty of feedback about the products you are enjoying the most in order to help them plan production and give them a secure market for future harvests.
 
Our products
We try to source organic products, including vegetables, but we do prioritise local provenance over organic status, doing our best to avoid using imported vegetables.
 
Our non-organic growers are farmers we know and trust, who take an active role in promoting bio-diversity on their farms and who try to limit the use of pesticides, opting for natural methods of pest control wherever possible.
 
We welcome all suggestions about new products and feedback about existing products. Don’t hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you.
