Pure and Green Directory

At Butterby we operate a box scheme, weekly or fortnightly delivery of locally grown fresh produce that will arrive on your doorstep. The contents will vary from week to week but will always contain half a dozen free-range eggs and a selection of seasonal fruit and vegetables which are organically grown. The only exception we make to this is local specialities such as strawberries and raspberries when in season

We are based at Croxdale, just south of Durham City, where our hens live a happy life. During the growing season most of the contents of your box will come from local growers and from the Georgian walled garden at Croxdale Hall which has full organic status. We also have a further 28 acres of land which has just completed its first year of conversion. As from September 2008 that field will be fully converted to organic production. Of the 28 acres available 16 will be growing veg for next year. This will make your box even more local.

However there times when it is necessary to supplement local organic with imported organic produce. This done to maintain variety and quality.

On request, we can also supply local Durham honey and Acorn Dairy organic milk.
