5/12/2024 No mushrooms
A couple of weeks back we found out that Capel Mushrooms in Suffolk, where we have sourced our mushrooms ever since the business started, were closing.
Unfortunately, we have been struggling to source mushrooms since then. We will not have any mushrooms for the week beginning 9th December, and it is likely we won't have any for the week beginning the 16th December.
Christmas 2024: Including closing dates and your delivery information
We’ll be delivering veg-boxes up to and including Friday 20th December. Then we’ll take a break. We’ll be closed throughout the whole of the following week. Veg-box deliveries will resume on Tuesday 31st December.
Important note for Wednesday customers
You WILL receive a veg-box on Wednesday the 1st Jan - New Years Day - if you are a weekly customer or if your fortnightly delivery naturally falls on this week.
Fortnightly customers who receive a box on the week Mon 9th December to Friday 13th November
For fortnightly customers that receive deliveries during this week – you will not receive any boxes from us after this week until the week of Monday 6th to the 10th January. That's 4 weeks without a box. To avoid this long gap we can set you up to receive a one-off delivery either for the week before Christmas or the week after – please email us at hello@cambridgeorganic.co.uk or call during office hours on 01223 873300 so we can organise this for you.
Introducing...the Christmas extra boxes.
You can always increase your weekly order by adding on extra items under the ‘Fruit & Vegetables to add to your veg box’ option. Alternatively, to cover the week when we are closed, we have exciting new Christmas box options, so you can get 2 boxes of that beautiful veg to last you and your guests till the New Year. This second box will come with a 20% discount.
Original and Original Plus customers will receive a 2nd box with the same bases but some different items too. Choice customers can purchase boxes that give them extra points to spend on whatever vegtastic items they desire. You can order your additional ‘Christmas box’, for delivery in the week before we close, from now and up until that last week of deliveries under the ‘add items to your order’ menu option followed by the ‘Add-on Christmas Boxes’ option.
