About the VegVan
Cultivate’s mobile shop, the VegVan, sells fresh, locally-produced food at regular weekly mini-markets in and around Oxford. Come aboard for a fine selection of fruit and vegetables, grown at our own market garden just outside Oxford and sourced direct from other local farms. You can contact the VegVan direct on 07579 965374 to find out where we are, reserve items or just have a chat.
The VegVan took its maiden voyage in July 2012, and by the end of the year had 18 stops in Oxford and further afield. Based on member and customer feedback from the VegVan’s first season we’re experimenting with fewer, longer stops for the van, which you can see above. The VegVan is an experimental enterprise and we hope you’ll join us on our journey of discovery… We’d love to hear your thoughts about the van and timetabale. To find out more about how the VegVan was created, check out our blogs from last year.
