We will be focusing on green issues to minimise the environmental impact of our business. We aim to do this whilst offering the freshest and most exciting range of produce, plants, flowers and dried goods that are responsibly grown and sourced. All of our produce is selected prioritising the following points:
Quality
Food Miles
Minimal Packaging
Organic
We supply a range of Veg Boxes for households of varying sizes, appetites and culinary tastes. These are available without any subscription. However, we are offering the option of a weekly subscription to really take the effort out of achieving your 5 a day. We are able to supply the best quality produce due to our strict ethics of local and seasonal procurement and a zero waste policy. We achieve this by sourcing the exact quantities of the freshest fruit and vegetables on the morning of delivery to you, enabling us to deliver only the best produce at the most reasonable prices. We also aim to use as little packaging as possible in HFM Veg Boxes, so where packaging is necessary for transportation, we recycle market boxes and crates for your order and use biodegradable packing materials; we avoid plastic wherever possible. We are very happy to collect your empty market boxes and crates when we deliver your next box to maximise the usable life of otherwise discarded materials.
All HFM Veg Boxes are available for free delivery within a fifteen mile radius of Hoole in Chester. We deliver Monday to Saturday (or Tuesday to Saturday if there’s a Bank Holiday, due to market limitations). All you need to do is order your chosen HFM Veg Box online by midnight for next day delivery. Your HFM Veg Box will be delivered to your home, or chosen safe place for you by 6pm. In our quest for environmental sustainability, at Hoole Food Market we passionately believe that the distance food has to travel from the producer to your plate should be as short as possible. With this in mind, we offer our produce exclusively to Chester and it’s surrounding towns and villages - a truly local service.
We strive to provide the very finest produce of the highest quality, but with the smallest environmental impact. We will always source organic produce when it is available and of sufficient quality. However, if the food miles outweigh the benefits of the organic credentials, more locally produced food will always be sought. In short, local and seasonal is our first priority with organic coming a very close second.
In order to ensure every mile travelled is as efficient as possible, we provide our produce exclusively within Chester and the immediate surrounding area. We supply restaurants, hotels and caterers as well as local families. With the relationships we have with local suppliers and at market, we are able to offer extremely competitive prices for the finest seasonal, locally produced fruit and vegetables.
