***Following Christmas, we are going to close for renovations and reinvention! Please let us have your email address so that we can keep you abreast of updates.***
Dear Grow Wild friends,
We’re running at full speed until Christmas, and our Christmas order forms are now available in the shop and on our website to download at: www.growwild.co.uk
The Christmas stock has just arrived and is in the shop. It seems early! We may wait until December to bring out the holly.
The shop will close after Christmas for renovations and reinvention
The shop building has been our home for around 12 years and now needs major repairs. You may have noticed the floor lately. It’s one of the many things we need to look at.
We’ll close at 4pm on 23 December, as we usually do at Christmas, and the building work will begin in the New Year. While the repairs are underway, we’ll take time to work out how Grow Wild can continue in a way that feels sustainable for us. Ben and I are always busy behind the scenes, and we want to find a better balance since we aren’t spring chickens any more!
We will reopen, but the shop will take a different form. We don’t yet have a date or all the details, but we’ll keep you updated as plans take shape, including what we’ll offer and when we’ll be open.
This is a pause in the shop’s current setup, not an ending. Ben will continue to grow veg, and we remain committed to producing and selling food. Grow Wild has been part of our lives since 1998. Nearly 30 years on, it feels like the right time to look at how we do things and what comes next.
To avoid waste and excess stock during the pause, we’ll reduce our stock in the lead-up to Christmas. If there’s something you’re hoping to buy, please let us know. We’ll see if we can order it in especially, and it may be a good time to stock up on your essentials.
We love this community and want to keep offering things that matter to you.
Our superb Grow Wild team has done an amazing job, and we are so grateful to them. Time brings change for all of us, though. Jo is looking to move house and a new hobby job (suggestions welcome!). Erica is considering what may be next for her, with her young kids now at school too! Leti will move over to Future Vintage and spend more time knitting. Eilidh will continue her knitting work with Future Vintage too.
Thank you for shopping with us and for all the kindness and support you’ve shown us over the years. It means a great deal to us. We’re looking forward to what comes next, and there’s lots more to come. We have no intention of retiring yet!
Our team meets each week, so please pass on any questions and we’ll share answers as we have them.
Please make sure we have your current email address and contact details so we can keep you updated.
With love,
Lindsay & Ben xx
About Grow Wild
GROW WILD goes beyond organic with our fruit and vegetable production as an element of what we do here on the family farm of 285 acres, embracing a range of regenerative agricultural practices. Grow Wild was one of a handful of Scottish organic box schemes back in the 1990s and distributed over a thousand tons of homegrown organic produce weekly to customers embracing a sustainable, organic and natural lifestyle. Our own Bonnytoun grown organic produce, together with organics from other local growers and from further afield is available in our ever growing Farm Shop as always. We use our electric vans - powered by nature - for tootling about on our organic business. The farm is powered almost solely by solar energy. Grow Wild has been certified by the Soil Association since 1998, and Bonnytoun Farm from 2013.
Recipes
Following the seasons on the farm, we meander our way through the year with tried-and-tested and experimental recipes. Happy culinary creating and eating.
