Written by the company
At Abel & Cole, we’ve trailblazed sustainable shopping since 1988 – doing food right from day one. What started with selling organic potatoes door to door has grown into a network of trailblazing farmers, sustainability experts and dedicated shoppers who all share the same passion for the planet. For over 35 years, we’ve delivered delicious, planet-friendly food, drink and more to homes across the UK. When our shoppers unbox their delivery, they can trust that it’s filled with top-quality groceries. Like high-welfare meat from award-winning farms. Responsibly caught, MCS-rated fish. Artisanal bread from family-run bakeries. And farm-fresh fruit & veg grown as nature intended. All ethically sourced from growers and makers who put the planet first and sustainably delivered in our returnable, reusable boxes. We’re proud to have built long-standing relationships with our farmers. We commit to paying our growers fairly, never squeezing them for profit and planning our boxes around their seasonal harvests. That means our iconic Fruit & Veg Boxes are always filled with the freshest, organic crops – grown sustainably with zero artificial pesticides. And for every Fruit & Veg Box we deliver, we donate fresh fruit & veg to fight food poverty through our One Box: One Portion charity initiative. We go the extra mile to make every shop sustainable for our customers. We say no to pointless plastic – that’s why there’s 77% less plastic in our Fruit & Veg Boxes than the same items from some of the biggest supermarkets. Our growing Club Zero collection gives shoppers over 100 zero-waste refills to choose from, slimming their bins even more. And as part of our Packaging Promise, we’ll always take back anything that can’t be recycled at home. Even collecting our customers’ flexi-plastics from any shop through our Plastic Pick-Up Service.

- Zero pointless plastic
- Our Packaging Promise is to help you slim your bin. That means we only use packaging if it genuinely serves a purpose, like preventing food waste. We also make sure you can reuse, recycle, or return it to us for a sustainable end of life – so you don’t have to send anything from our deliveries to landfill.
- Zero air miles
- We source as much as possible from the UK to help keep food miles and carbon emissions as low as possible. For anything that can’t be sourced or grown in the UK, we have a zero airfreight policy in place.
- Farmers paid fairly
- Being fair on price means that we can help offer our farmers security – it’s important that they can make a profit, so they can reinvest it and continue to farm. As a proud Real Living Wage employer, we’re also committed to paying a fair price to our farmers to allow them to then pay a fair wage to their teams.

Great company
I love Abel and Cole because they have a large variety of organic foods ranging from chicken, fish, fruit and veg. It is a bit pricey so those less fortunate would not be able to buy from them which is a shame because I think we should all eat sustainable, ethical organic foods but nevertheless I sacrifice for this food because it's high quality. The customer service is amazing, any issues they quick to fix any issues. Very courteous and I will be a long customer

Wonderful products, long-time customer
I've used Abel & Cole for 11 years and have always appreciated their effort to support local and artisan producers. Their customer service and delivery has always been fantastic and their products (fresh, and pantry) have been of beautiful quality. One the rare occasion something has gone wrong, they have always been prompt to sort it out. I also appreciate their creative recipes and recipe boxes which have inspired many meals over the years in my large and busy family.

I've been with Abel and Cole for a few years and can't think of ordering veggies anywhere else, I usually get a box of veg, milk - which is much nicer from the shop and a few other things and I am very happy with the freshness and quality, also my veggies are not wrapped in plastic, which is great.

I really like this company every thing is great and everyone who works in the company is super star.
I1t's fun to unpack a box of super veg
I have a veg box every fortnight. The quality and freshness are usually superb and there's a wide choice of products. I like being able to swap items to suit our tastes and what's currently growing in the garden. In fact, I like the whole ethos of the company, including minimising and recycling packaging. And it's good to speak to a real person if you phone with a query.
I have been buying from Abel and Cole…
I have been buying from Abel and Cole for many years and can highly recommend them. I like that a lot of their products come from independent local farms and are mostly organic and from small businesses. Information on the products and people who provide them and their beliefs about how they grow or manufacture their produce is regularly provided to the customer. The drivers are friendly and helpful and seem to be happy working for the company. Their Help Line is manned by cheerful and helpful people and I have rarely had any problems with ordering or deliveries or choice.
