What to buy at Better Food: Deliciously fresh herbs, salad leaves and rocket.

Mission and values: Strode Valley Organics’ driving force is a passion to provide vibrant, nutritious, organic food and medicinal herbs for their local customers while enhancing the ecology of their land.

They use organic, environmentally friendly farming techniques, including no-dig, to grow their produce. Local biodiversity is also hugely important to them – with barn owls, kingfishers, badgers and otters being some of the habitants of their farm!

Location: Whitling Wood Farm, Whitling Street, Regil, BS40 8BN (8.2 miles from Better Food).

We love them because… They tell us the “date picked” on their produce so we know exactly how fresh it is (sometimes it’s the same day that we receive it!) We also love their commitment to supporting biodiversity on their land.
