Welcome to The Veg Collective!
The Veg Collective is a group of local growers who are passionate about providing homegrown, healthy produce to our community. We are a close-knit group of farmers who live and work within a 15-mile radius of each other. By coming together, we aim to share the fruits of our labor and promote sustainable farming practices.
Meet Our Growers
At The Veg Collective, we have partnered with three exceptional growers:
- Rock Farm: Known for their high-quality potatoes, Rock Farm is dedicated to growing delicious and nutritious spuds.
- Creeve Cottage: Creeve Cottage specializes in tender cherry tomatoes that burst with flavor. Their commitment to organic farming ensures the highest quality produce.
- AJ’s Farmshop: AJ’s Farmshop serves as our central hub, where all our produce is sorted and prepared for our weekly veg boxes. Located at 3 Moss Road, Ballymaguigan, Magherafelt, it’s the place to go for the freshest local produce.
Weekly Seasonal Veg Box
Our highlight is the Weekly Seasonal Veg Box, carefully curated by our growers and sorted on the same day at AJ’s Farmshop. As we work in harmony with nature, the selection of produce in each box is subject to seasonal availability.
A typical summer box may include:
- 2kg of potatoes
- 1 punnet of tender cherry tomatoes
- 1 bunch of onions or shallots
- 1 cucumber or courgette
- 1 bunch of carrots
- 1 pot-plant herb
These boxes are packed with the freshest, most flavorful produce you can find. It’s a great way to support local farmers, eat seasonally, and enjoy a variety of vegetables in your meals.
Collection Points
Our Weekly Seasonal Veg Boxes can be collected from AJ’s Farmshop at 3 Moss Road, Ballymaguigan, Magherafelt. We offer collection from Friday 11am to Saturday 4pm, ensuring you have plenty of time to pick up your box and start cooking up some delicious meals.
In addition to AJ’s Farmshop, we also have other local collection points available. Please visit our website, www.vegcollective.co.uk, for more information on these locations.
