Hillside Market Garden is helping to rebuild local food economies

We believe that changing the way we produce and distribute food is fundamental to solving the world’s most pressing social and ecological problems.

About Hillside Market Garden

Hillside Market Garden is rooted in rural Central Bedfordshire and is a one acre market garden with a focus and passion for growing delicious and nutritious seasonal vegetables and fresh cut flowers. At our core we are all about local food for local people and the positive benefits buying local food can bring. We believe that food grown locally introduces communities to seasonality and encourages variety in diets. It also means the food requires less transportation, so it is not only fresher but has a smaller environmental footprint.

Fair prices for farmers and artisan food producers is vital

We pay our suppliers at least 50% of the retail value for any products we buy in, and when dealing with wholesalers, we check to make sure they pay fair prices to their growers.

The benefits of buying local

Local food supports local economies. Food grown in the local community supports local jobs and encourages variety in our diets. It also requires less transportation, so it's fresher and has a smaller environmental footprint.

The salad and vegetables are absolutely delicious. They are as fresh and tasty as homegrown but without the effort of having to grow it! And being so local to both me and the farm shop I buy it from, it is just perfect!”
