WELCOME TO ROOTS, FRUITS AND LEAVES!
Roots, Fruits and Leaves
Roots, Fruits and Leaves handles the logistics of bringing food from field to plate (sales, marketing, packing and delivering) – the thing growers often don’t have the time or resources to manage - meaning they can spend more time growing delicious food for us to nourish ourselves, our families and friends with.
We offer a box scheme with a difference ... you can 'create your own' box via our on-line shop (with Open Food Network, UK) and choose from a selection of freshly harvested, local, seasonal fruit and veg sourced from a number of different producers who have joined our network and supplemented with certified organic produce from Scottish based wholesalers, Organic World. We also offer, when available, sustainably grown flowers, locally roasted organic coffee and sourdough bread (baked using cert. org. Scottish heritage wheat).
- are passionate about increasing the availability of locally grown produce for our customers, produce that has been grown to organic standards (with or without certification)
- are committed to giving a fair price to local, small scale producers - supporting them to make a living out of growing food
- aims to source the majority of produce from within a 10 mile radius of Findhorn (Morayshire, Scotland) 12 months of the year!

celebrating local organically grown apples
Its autumn and we have an abundance of delicious, freshly harvested, local and organically grown cooking and eating apples.
Over the years, our producers have carefully selected and planted apple varieties for their colour and flavour and also to ensure a supply of apples from September all the way through to the Spring - some that are best eaten fresh and some that store well. I am proud to say that we offer somewhere in the region of 40 different varieties !!
There is a great website ORANGE PIPPIN that has loads of info about the different varieties, where you can make an easy search alphabetically. Before you know it, you will be an apple connoisseur !! Hover over the pictures to see the name of the varieties showcased below.
