Abel and Cole

Organic produce delivered to your door. This highly ethical company also has unbelievable customer service.




They have a large selection of items beyond fruit and vegetables. They also have organic meat, beer, wine, environmentally safe cleaning products, recipes, and a plethora of other great stuff.

They have a mandate to source as much as they can locally and even plan their delivery routes based on the most efficient routes so as to reduce CO2.

They've won customer service awards and have scored 14th on the list of best companies to work for in the UK.

The Farmers Choice Initiative
They also have a charitable initiative wherein they generate funding for schools and support local farmers. Here's some info from their site. I hope to set this up with my school shortly.

  • The Farmer's Choice has been designed to raise maximum funds for minimum effort (sounds "effortless" to me)

  • Selling just 50 bags per week will raise around £3,000 per year for your school and takes just one person under an hour per week

  • 25% of what parents and teachers spend on their fresh organic produce goes straight to the school

  • Not only are you helping your school, you are also helping local British growers, as we give them 40% of the bag price
Great company, great services, helps the environment, helps education... did I mention great company? I like them.
