Nourished Communities Reviews

The produce from these guys is amazing. So delicious. I don’t think I’ve ever tasted potatoes quite like the ones they delivered to me back in April. The carrots make you realise what carrots are actually supposed to taste like. The greens are so fresh. The cherries mouthwatering.
Simple to order and friendly delivery.
Cannot recommend highly enough.

I’ve had deliveries from Nourished Communities several times.
Today we had an exceptional free range chicken- the best we’ve eaten - it came packed with ice & a biodegradable cover. The vegetables were delicious.
The fruit & vegetables are always good quality & very fresh.
Just tried the truffle nuts - amazing.

Great products, great communications, great ethos! I miss the farmers' market and this is just about the best thing to replace it. Everything is as fresh as fresh can be. Seasonal, sustainable and minimal packaging. Forget supermarket produce! The salad is so tasty, the aubergines and tomatoes are full of flavour, the strawberries are divine.

PS I recommend you ignore the 1-star review which was written by a person who only writes 1-star reviews, all of them kind of unreal...

I usually don't write reviews but I was very surprised as this week my order didn't show. I sent an email explaining the situation and within less than 15 min I got a call on my phone from Nourished Communities to explain what had happened and offer a solution.

Might seem small but to me that is top tier customer service. Especially after horrible experiences with other companies trying for hours and 3 different channels to get to a real person.

The delivery company they use is similarly customer-focused and very easy to use, with nice delivery people who actually(!) climb up two flights of stairs to deliver boxes to your door.

Thank you guys :)
(but also I really love the products).

The vegetable box from Nourished Communities was excellent. A good balanced mixture of British seasonal fruit and veg. The quality was excellent. It has lasted us nearly 2 weeks (2 people) with just the odd top-up of other items. Even the Lollo Rosso lettuce is still crisp! The box is good value for the quantity and quality of the ingredients.

Great produce and an altogether good idea. I was expecting to collect order but it was not ready packed up which was a bit disappointing. Perhaps I misunderstood the concept. Anyway I will use it again as the produce is excellent particularly the cheeses. I bought an utterly delicious ash-clad goats cheese and a Glastonbury hard cheese. Both were excellent.

Great local produce, timely delivery, always a treat. The new potatoes and cherry tomatoes are to die for. High quality dairy produce, you can taste the difference. Fantastic asset to the community too. Only the sourdough bread could be better. I look forward to rhubarb season!

This is quite simply a brilliant social enterprise. I don't know how I would have manged without Nourished Communities these last few weeks. Rollo and the team moved fast to connect the farmers and consumers who'd normally trade at the market on Sundays and provide fantastic service to keep them and us going. Thank you!

This business does everything well. They sell products from local farmers and producers, which are usually organic and of top quality. But as you would expect this comes with a higher price tag. I have ordered the medium seasonal vegetable box a few times. This gives you good value for the price. The other products are a bit more expensive for what you get, but still worth. Their website works very well and they send out newsletters frequently with their latest additions and other news. The staff is very friendly and if you're lucky you leave with more than you ordered. Would highly recommend this shop for anyone who cares about eating seasonal, local and organic.

Great store with friendly staff! It's nice to see a company who champions independent producers, and the the products are very high quality. They are also always bringing in new and interesting stock

Amazing service and beautiful hamper ordered from New Zealand to my son and his family in London. Good updates on delivery and delivered on time. The quality of the produce is excellent. My son was extremely happy. Will definitely us Nourished Communities again in the future.

Very happy with the products, service and communication. From the first week we started to receive the products my 2 year old son has shown a huge interest in the fruit and veg and has definitely eaten a lot more.

I've regularly used food delivery boxes in the past due to a busy lifestyle, mainly the big brand meal boxes. The problem is the tiny pots you get with them doesn't leave you with cupboards full of ingredients (just cupboards full of garlic). I much prefer buying the ingredients, that helps to support local farmers.

The Steak and Ale pies and a must, along with the Spiced Sweetcorn and Coconut Chowder.

On top of the great food the fact that Nourished Communities are helping out some of the most vulnerable people is something you might not get somewhere else.

Bread was delivered in good condition with secure packaging. As good as their word and I will happily order from Nourished Communities again.

Exceptional service and fruit/veg. The extras you can order are top notch. In particular I've never had better smoked salmon and the smokey Tomato Balsalmic is utterly delicious, not to forget the eggs which have yolks so orange they are almost red.

Great products and service going above and beyond for us. Rollo and the guys were great organising our large order which they put together very quickly for us, thanks guys

Nourished communities is such a fantastic initiative, bringing the farmer's market and lovely local fresh produce to us while also helping to raise awareness and network community activities and charities. We love their veg box, gooseberries, fresh seeded bread and flowers. Rollo and his team who run it are really courteous and enthusiastic which just makes you want to go there!

We didn’t think that produce was good enough, all too small and some leaves didn’t even look like salad, isn’t worth for the price, so we’re going back to oddbox

Looking for good olive oil at a reasonable price. Difficult task. Yours was on offer and it’s very good. Excellent sale service as usual.

Fabulous quality produce. The strawberries were fantastic. My only quibble would be that it would be good to be given a window of delivery times. I didn't know when to go out for a walk on Sunday as I wasn't sure when the delivery would come.

I have been really impressed by Nourished Communities. The fruit and vegetables have been fresh and tasty and the apple and pear juice from Perry Court Farm the best I have ever tasted. I am very happy to be able to collect from Coexistence on Canonbury Lane and I have also enjoyed being able to buy extra high-quality produce, such as their heritage tomatoes. Rollo is very welcoming and responsive, a man on a misssion. Hat off for someone so young and entrepreneurial. We should all encourage locals selling very fresh and interesting produce to other locals. It is such a shame that my review should come directly after Miss Gotty's strangely negative review. However she doesn’t appear to even have ordered from Nourished Communities. Perhaps a case of mistaken corporate identity. However, I would note that Miss Gotty is consistent. I see she has posted seven reviews on Trustpilot for businesses such as John Lewis and Sainsbury's and she has awarded each one just a single star.
