At 8th Day Shop we buy in as much UK grown fruit and veg as we can. Obviously this is very difficult at certain times of the year, especially around March and April. As second choice we order from Europe and then further afield, depending on the fruit or vegetable and the time of year. Throughout May we ordered Italian apples in preference to those from Argentina, but had to give in and buy some from the latter as the Italian varieties were very large, ‘floury’ and of poor quality. It can be an environmental and ethical minefield. We have recently been selling lettuces with just 4 food miles - read the piece on local suppliers.
