At Coombe Farm Organic, we’ve given the packaging of our products lots of thought. We want to deliver the best, tastiest, but also the most responsible product we can. We also have to think about the standard that our products arrive to your door in. With meat, temperature control is essential.

Many other producers opt to save money when dealing with this issue and supply their products in bulky, unrecyclable polystyrene boxes that are, quite frankly, a nuisance. We did look at the polystyrene boxes. Nasty, squeaky, environmental nightmares. We just didn’t feel comfortable putting our produce in them. So we sought an alternative.

We think our packaging solution is much more befitting of the organic produce we place inside. Sensible packaging, it is easy for you to recycle and reuse. Most importantly though, once packed up, it’ll keep your order at the required temperature for at least 30 hours. Which gives us plenty of time to get it safely to you.

Cardboard Box

The delivery box you will receive is made of 100% recycled paper and is 100% recyclable. It has been tested to ensure it is sturdy enough to deal with all of the weight we place within and acts as an insulator too.

Water-filled Ice Packs

The ice packs in your box can be reused - frozen they will stay cool for a long time. Perfect for your picnic or day out! Or you can empty the water contents in a drain as it's completely safe. The plastic is fully recyclable too.

WoolCool® Liner 

Environmentally sound, WoolCool® is made from 100% natural wool. It can be composted, recycled and reused in your home or your garden as nests for wildlife and lining for flower baskets.
