Local Collective Hackney

What a year! We're finally at the end of 2020 and reflecting on this crazy year – a year that inspired us to create this whole veggie box business-thing. And we couldn't be happier we did!

Local Collective first popped-up in Spring 2020, when the strange times that we all found ourselves in inspired us to think outside the box. So we created a veggie box!

Our aim has always been to support our local community and help get fresh, wholesome essentials to doors hassle-free at an affordable rate. And this year has proved keeping it local is more important than ever; so our hampers are always packed with local fruit, veggie, and foodie goodness from around East London.

Thank you to all our great customers who have supported and bought from us this year. We're here for you, and we couldn't do it without you – the clue's in the name...

That's Christmas all wrapped up for us this year! Boxes packed, presents wrapped, and food prepped.

We hope you all have a merry, bright, safe, and green(!) Christmas this year! And don't forget to do that recycling... 😉

Christmas is coming up – the perfect time to tuck into one of our reasonably priced Citrus Baskets! There's actually a long history of oranges at Christmas - putting oranges in stockings and making Christingles are both long-lasting festive traditions! 🍊

We reckon nothing smells more Christmassy than a freshly peeled clementine...

Calm in East London as everyone braces for tier 3.. Don’t forget, our pop up shop is open and your can order online for hassle free food delivered swiftly and safely to your door ☺️

So while we can’t eat out, order online and make it easy! ✨

We adore a great sweet potato! But did you know, unlike regular potatoes, sweet pots are actually roots, and they can be enjoyed in many ways including baked, steamed, boiled, mashed, microwaved or even raw!

Oh and you don't need to peel! When eaten with the skin on, sweet potatoes are an excellent source of fibre. You can't go wrong!

Let us know what you make with our Local Collective Carrots!

Colourful veg speaks to us. 🍅 And we’re in love with these wild and wacky tomato’s!

Let’s make a thing...

It's all about Garlic...

We feel a little lost when we run out of garlic in the kitchen, it's a proper staple, adding heaps of flavour to so many recipes! It also contains some great health properties, helping lower cholesterol levels because of the anti-oxidant it contains!

Good thing many of our boxes contain this magic ingredient! 👀

"On the Veg of Reason..." 💭

Cauliflower - so much more than a fancy cabbage.

Bell Pepper - bangs with a bit of hummus.

Onion - start cooking anything with it, ANYTHING.

Parsnips - Christmas is coming up, need we say more?!

Sprout- ... Well, you get the idea.
