North East Organic Growers is a workers co-op based at Earth Balance, Bomarsund (twelve miles north of Newcastle-upon-Tyne). Existing since 1995, we grow organic vegetables on our 12 acre site, and run a “box scheme”, which is a cost-effective way of buying certified organic seasonal vegetables and fruit on a regular basis. The produce is guaranteed to be free of added pesticides, herbicides and GMOs, and is grown using ecologically sound and sustainable methods so members will be supporting a healthier

environment as well as their own health. Here is a summary of what we offer:Product List:
Typical Contents: *Variety Vegbag Potatoes, carrots, onions and 3-5 other varieties. £7, available weekly

Basic Vegbag Larger quantities of potatoes, carrots, onions and one other variety. £7 available weekly

Standard Fruitbag Usually 4/5 varieties, for example, apples, oranges, bananas, kiwi. £5.50 available fortnightly

Double Fruitbag More of the above plus 1 or 2 extra varieties. £10.50 available fortnightly
