Alternatively, boil or steam it for a quick and simple addition to any meal. Use the kernels in fresh salads, soups, or salsas. You can even incorporate it into savory bakes, fritters, or chowders. No matter how you prepare it, our sweetcorn is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.


A Purchase You Can Feel Good About

Choosing our sweetcorn means choosing sustainability. Not only do you enjoy farm-fresh, flavorful produce, but you also support small-scale farming and environmentally friendly practices. Ultimately, every cob reflects our commitment to quality, care, and the future of our planet.

🧮 The Math Behind Our Prices

💷
£11.81 break-even

Minimum to survive

£56,700 ÷ 100 members ÷ 48 weeks = £11.81 break-even

£10.50 solidarity minimum = We take a small loss to help you

£11.81 = Break-even (farm survives, no fair wages yet)

£15 standard = Minimum wage for farmers

£20 supporter = Fair wage + helping subsidize others

Above £20 = Really helping both farm and those in need

⚠️ Important: Our £45,000 farmer wages = £21.60/hour GROSS (before tax, pension, holidays).

Take-home is closer to £15-16/hour - barely a living wage for skilled agricultural work.

This system relies on honesty:

Below £11.81 = we subsidize you (that's okay if you need the help). At £15 = minimum wage. At £20+ = you enable solidarity pricing for those in genuine need. Please choose based on what you can truly afford.
