| SOL Somerset Organic Link is
a co-operative of organic producers in South Somerset working together
to sell their produce collectively to local markets, in order to give
customers a wide range and continuity of supply.
We sell a range of fresh organic field vegetables, as well as a selection of crops from polytunnels and glasshouses. Fruit and out-of-season produce are bought in from outside the county where necessary to meet customer demand. The co-op has a reputation for supplying fresh, delicious organic vegetables and fruit at affordable prices. The co-op’s service is friendly and accommodating. Ask any of our customers. SOL values its direct contact with customers. Several farmers’ markets in Somerset have a SOL stall. The co-op has its own seasonal vegetable box scheme and also supplies Somerset Local Food Direct, a home-delivery service operating in the Glastonbury and Yeovil area. Year on year, SOL aims to reduce the gap between Somerset - grown organic produce and imported produce. Somerset is lucky enough to have large areas of grade 1 agricultural land - in and around South Petherton and near Frome - which are ideal for growing vegetables. SOL’s sales records consistently show that there is a market for Somerset produce and SOL is keen to encourage organic growers in the county to join the co-op. The co-op delivers organic fruit and vegetables throughout South Somerset and West Dorset. We also have customers in Devon, Wiltshire, Bristol and occasionally further afield. SOL is registered with the Soil Association (Organic Certification UK5 / P932) |
