Supermarket wars and why it matters this Christmas

You may have seen headlines about supermarkets slashing prices on Christmas vegetables at silly prices. These deep discounts might seem like great deals, but they come with a real cost.

Here’s the downside:

When big chains engage in a price war, it can devalue the hard work of British growers and send the wrong message about what quality, local produce is actually worth. Many farmers will clearly be concerned that rock-bottom retail prices could mean less income for growers next year even if supermarkets are absorbing losses now.

This is why choosing local matters:

Supporting local farmers keeps money in our communities.

It rewards the people who actually grow your food, instead of lining the profits of mega-chains.

It helps preserve farming heritage and sustainable practices.

That’s where 5adaybox comes in – a local alternative that supports local farmers when produce is in season and you will get fresher, seasonal fruit & veg delivered directly to your door.

This Christmas (and beyond), choose quality and fairness:

Support local growers. Support sustainable food systems. Support 5adaybox.
