When you buy from the OrganicLea box scheme, there are different sizes of vegetable and fruit bags to choose from. And you can pick bags with or without potatoes.
All produce is grown by us or sourced from other UK, and sometimes European, organic farms.
We offer a discount scheme for those who have difficulty paying the full amount — scroll down for details.

OrganicLea solidarity payment scheme
We use a solidarity pricing system for our fruit and veg boxes. So, if you’re able, you can choose to pay a bit extra each week to help cover the cost for someone else who needs a discount. It’s totally up to you – you can join or leave the scheme whenever you like.
By paying what you can on a sliding scale, we hope to foster more equity and diversity in the food system. If you’d like to help out, you can add £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10 to your weekly payment. All extra contributions go towards lowering the price for those who need a helping hand.
You might want to pay a solidarity rate if any of these apply to you:
- You’d like to support others in your community
- You can cover all your basic needs comfortably
- You have some spare cash
- You have savings or have received an inheritance
- Your rent or mortgage is less than 30% of your monthly income
- You’re not working by choice (such as taking a break to think about your next steps)
- You have strong earning potential, for example, you have a university degree
If you’d like to make a solidarity payment, simply choose the amount when you join the box scheme.
How does the discount work?
There’s no means testing to get a lower price – it’s there if you feel you need it. The usual discount is 20%, but if you need more, just ask. The price reduction comes from the solidarity payments, so sometimes there might be a waiting list, depending on how much support we have and how many people request a discount.
You might want to pay a discounted rate if any of these fit your situation:
- You often worry about paying for basic needs and sometimes struggle to meet them
- You have little or no spare money
- You do unpaid care work
- You don’t get state benefits because of your immigration status
- You support children or dependents on a single income
- You work part-time or have a low income (less than 16 hours a week)
