Farmdrop goes bust here’s what you need to know
The Farmshop Review
Farmdrop was established in 2012 by Ben Pugh to “fix the food chain” and offer sustainably sourced products direct to the customer. The idea is to create an online farmers market where customers can buy their whole grocery shop almost directly from many different farms but with just in one basket with one delivery charge.
Customers get fresh, sustainable, ethically produced products and farmers keep more of the sales price which lets them invest more in less intensive farming methods that would price them out of the supermarket supply chain.
Where does Farmdrop produce come from?
Farmdrop has around 450 specialist suppliers and they try to source fresh and seasonal products from local farms within 150 miles of their Enfield base wherever possible.
Many products can’t be sourced locally and because Farmdrop aims to let you do your whole grocery shop with them, they supplement their local selection with carefully chosen products from around the world, primarily Europe.
How much does delivery cost?
Delivery is Free on orders of £60 or more. Delivery of orders less than £60 costs £6.99 fee Sun-Thu; and £9.99 Fri-Sat. Farmdrop has a minimum spend of£30.
Who owns Farmdrop?
Farmdrop is owned by Ben Pugh, an ex-banker who wants to re-humanise the UK Food Chain by bringing the makers and eaters of real food together online in a way that provides everyone with a better deal.
Is Farmdrop really organic?
Yes, although they don’t grow their own produce, Farmdrop is certified organic by the soil association as they offer organic produce from producers who will also have their own organic certification.
Farmdrop is also a certified B corporation. A new kind of business that balances purpose and profit. They are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment.
