Veg Growers
Local supply is certainly our ideal and although
the North West has many capable growers there are not so many
in total. Year on year we have worked with UK farmers to increase
the proportion of UK organic fruit & veg available at Unicorn.
Every year supply has improved.
Since Glebelands Market Garden was set  up
in Sale we can have Kale out of the ground and in the shop in
a couple of hours. The seasons limit what can be grown so we do
rely on European organic supply to have such an impressive range
throughout the year, but buying direct keeps it fresher &
cheaper. As always, we would encourage you to eat seasonally,
it's usually cheaper, tastier, more nutritious and of course a
lot less 'well travelled'.
Unicorn is registered with the Soil
Association and buys organic produce only from certified
growers and suppliers.
