VEG BOX SCHEME 2023 – SIGN-UP AND PAYMENT WEEKLY RECURRING
Sign up now – limited spaces remain!
SIGN AND PAY BELOW. ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE RIGHT SCHEME FOR YOU? PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING 6 POINTS OF INFORMATION BELOW FIRST. IF THIS IS FINE, THEN WE THINK YOU ARE GOOD TO GO.
1. If you can’t collect your box or arrange collection every Wednesday or Thursday 2-7pm from the Potting Shed at Meanwood Valley Urban Farm, then this is probably not the right scheme for you.
2. Your first box will be ready 2 weeks after you sign up. This minimizes waste and allows us time to order from outside and pick crops precisely. We have a 10-16 day wait period after you sign up so that we can plan our harvest and orders and keep our waste to zero.
| If you sign up & pay in this week: | Then collect your first box on: |
|---|---|
| 14TH March – Sun 26th March | Wed 5th / Thu 6th April |
| Mon 27th March – Sun 2nd April | Wed 12th / Thu 13th April |
| Mon 3rd – Sun 9th April | Wed 19th / Thu 20th April |
3. We do not deliver, you need to come every week and collect and assemble your box, or arrange for someone to collect on your behalf. It usually takes 10 minutes to do this. Collection is 14:00-18:30, Wednesdays and Thursdays in the Potting Shed at Meanwood Valley Urban Farm.
4. There are no ‘pauses’. If you can’t collect or arrange collection on collection days, your box will be forfeit. In other words, if you can’t collect on a particular week, but you don’t want to cancel from the scheme (i.e. you’re going on holiday), then arrange for someone else to pick up and eat your veg or tell us to give it away!
5. You will get less things in your box if we have a poor crop performance or crop failure. This will affect boxes in particular during June – November when most of the food from your box comes directly from the Market Garden.
6. You can only cancel with two weeks’ notice. You are always paying 2 weeks in advance for your box from the point you joined the scheme (see cancellation policy below). When you cancel (by email to veg@mvuf.org.uk), you are entitled to two more weeks of veg boxes.
