Sweetcorn is as versatile as it is delicious. For instance, grill it on the barbecue and top with butter and herbs for a smoky, flavorful side dish. 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.

ยฃ56,700 รท 100 members รท 48 weeks = ยฃ11.81 break-even

ยฃ10.50 solidarity minimum = We take a small loss to help you

ยฃ11.81 = Break-even (farm survives, no fair wages yet)

ยฃ15 standard = Minimum wage for farmers

ยฃ20 supporter = Fair wage + helping subsidize others

Above ยฃ20 = Really helping both farm and those in need

โš ๏ธ Important: Our ยฃ45,000 farmer wages = ยฃ21.60/hour GROSS (before tax, pension, holidays).

Take-home is closer to ยฃ15-16/hour - barely a living wage for skilled agricultural work.

This system relies on honesty:

Below ยฃ11.81 = we subsidize you (that's okay if you need the help). At ยฃ15 = minimum wage. At ยฃ20+ = you enable solidarity pricing for those in genuine need. Please choose based on what you can truly afford.
