Sound Bites - Vegetable Pedallers

Sound Bites have introduced a home delivery scheme called ‘Vegetable Pedallers’, this delivers fresh produce to people with mobility difficulties within Derby by bicycle. Typically elderly and disabled people use the service but the scheme is open to anyone who struggles to get to the shops.

Mixed bags of Vegetables and Fruit and other staple groceries are available for delivery.

The Vegetable bags always contain potatoes, carrots and onions and 3 or 4 other vegetables. The Fruit bags contain 3 or 4 different types of fruit. We can alter bag contents to fit personal requirements.

All Vegetables and Fruit are organic; they are sourced locally whenever the season and availability allows. The fresh produce is delivered in re-useable jute bags. Other basic groceries are available. View the latest produce list here here.

The service runs throughout Derby and each area has a designated delivery day.

Vegetable Pedallers has received funding from The Esmee Fairbairn Foundation to run the scheme. Deliveries are made by freight carrying bicycle and there is no delivery charge, prices are kept the same as in the shop. Would you or someone you know benefit from a doorstep delivery? Are you part of a group that would like to have a delivery?

To find out more phone 291369 or email us: cycle@soundbitesderby.org.uk

The delivery bike is serviced and maintained by Holts Cycles.
