Farmers Pick is dedicated to reducing plastic use but we sometimes use plastic packaging for freshness and quality, especially with delicate produce. They accept produce as provided by local farmers to minimise extra work and balance product integrity with environmental goals.
At Farmers Pick, we’re committed to being environmentally conscious and strive to minimise plastic in our boxes whenever possible.
However, there are times when we use plastic packaging, such as for baby spinach, herbs, or strawberries, to help maintain their freshness and quality. Often, when we receive produce from our local farmers, we take it in exactly the condition they would provide to supermarkets, if it weren't for cosmetic imperfections. We aim to make the process easier for farmers, not create more work for them.
Each decision we make is carefully balanced, ensuring that we protect the integrity of the produce while also keeping our environmental goals in mind.
Rest assured, we’re actively researching alternative packaging options and sustainable practices to further reduce our plastic use. We appreciate your understanding and support as we work towards a greener future!
