Welcome
How It Works
1) Login using your email and password at the top of this page.You can join the Hub by filling in your details here www.deanforestfoodhub.org.uk/hub/join
2) Click 'FoodHub Shop' to browse and order from the range of local and non-local produce available. Orders close 11:59pm Tuesday each week.
3) Pay using one of the payment methods - BACS or PayPal. See here for more details: 'Welcome Pack' If this isn't possible for you, contact us before ordering.
4) Pick up your order from your pick-up point on Friday or Saturday (not all pick-up points will have the same opening hours. Please check with your pick-up point).
Note: Check the Order Date when you are ordering. Orders received on a Wednesday-Saturday will not be ready for pick up this week, but for the following week. The date of pick up is displayed on the screen while you are ordering.
What's new?
Finally - it's February. Woo hoo!
Very kindly, Charlie (one of the Cooks of Country Market) is sometimes offering cakes, even though the market won't be open for a month or so. Vegan, and even the packers (who know a thing or two about cake) said they were delicious.
And Little Batch are offering some Valentine's specials, too. Will you really love anyone enough to given them away?
The Forest Deli are talking about putting some new *baked goods* on the Hub too - I hear whispers of sausage rolls & pork pies, which in this weather would be very nice. Watch this space.
We're doing OK for packers at the moment, but you'd still be welcome to come & see what it's like.
We'd like help with things other than packing veg, too: social media, IT systems, lots of back-room stuff needs to happen to keep the Hub running. Talk to us if you might be interested.
If you order & then find you can't pick your order up - for whatever reason - email us on deanforestfood@gmail.com (or reply to your order confirmation) and let us know - most pickup points can stay open late, and some can even hold your box til the next day. If necessary we'll try to organise home delivery if we can.
By the way, you can sign up to get an email reminding you to order on Mondays here . If you don't find it, check your spam folder - but I'm afraid some servers just bounce off automated emails and there's not much we can do about that.
