The Montessori Place is helping to rebuild local food economies
We believe that changing the way we produce and distribute food is fundamental to solving the world’s most pressing social and ecological problems.
About The Montessori Place
We are a Montessori school based in Eason's Green, Uckfield. We have a walled garden where we grow certified organic vegetables and fruits. The young people that attend the school are involved with all aspects of the gardening; growing and harvesting as well as packing the veg boxes and managing a garden stall. We hope you enjoy our produce.
Fair prices for farmers and artisan food producers is vital
We pay our suppliers at least 50% of the retail value for any products we buy in, and when dealing with wholesalers, we check to make sure they pay fair prices to their growers.
The benefits of buying local
Local food supports local economies. Food grown in the local community supports local jobs and encourages variety in our diets. It also requires less transportation, so it's fresher and has a smaller environmental footprint.
The surprise box was brilliant value for the price. We loved the salad and the potatoes and were very happy to receive a generous bunch of coriander. Would recommend and will buy again!
