If we had it our way, we would get rid of unnecessary packaging altogether. However, we need to get your food to you in perfect condition. After much thinking and trial runs, we found the best way to package your food to you safely and environmentally friendly.
Local orders and orders within 10 miles
We will use our own refrigerated van for these deliveries. This way, we can use less packaging to ensure the food stays cold. It also means we can build a personal relationship with you, the customer. It is always nice to see a familiar face, someone you can speak to and somebody who personally knows your order and delivery requirements.
Your order will be delivered in a Kings Farm box with each item packed to your order requirements. Unless otherwise requested your items will be vacuum packed for your convenience. If you will not be in during the delivery period please advise us at checkout, and we will place ice packs in your box to ensure your food stays at a safe cold temperature.
Deliveries outside 10 miles
As we have to use a courier for order of this distance, we need to ensure your order stays perfectly cold, no matter the situation. This is why we found Woolcool®. Woolcool® is made from 100% British sheep’s wool. The sheep’s wool is naturally washed. The recyclable food grade wrap which encloses the wool in woolcool® is micro-perforated to allow the fibres to breathe and create the natural cooling system, while also protecting your food. All the wool used is from the fleeces of British sheep, helping to raise the value of wool in the UK, supporting British sheep farmers and rural communities. Woolcool® is also processed and manufactured in the UK.
The best bit about using wool to keep your food cold? It is 100% recyclable. Being based in the country, it is important to us to look after our environment.
