In 2014, Sustainable Harborough established a not-for-profit click and collect online shopping service for the people of Market Harborough. Sourcing a number of local suppliers, edible16 focused on locally produced food and drink to reduce food miles, meaning less fuel used in transportation thereby reducing its carbon footprint. In essence, it is all about making local food and drink more accessible to those who live in Market Harborough and the surrounding villages.
In November 2016, edible16 was relaunched with a more focussed product offering which sees a range of new features and improvements including:
• All food and drink available to buy is produced within 20 miles of Market Harborough
• Great new producers and tasty products to choose from
• A simplified online shopping experience with new categories to help make your shopping experience hassle free
• Free delivery to anyone within 20 miles of Market Harborough
The edible16 team is constantly on the lookout for exciting, quality, tasty new products in the local area to add to the existing selection which ranges from: fruit, vegetables, meat, bread and cheese to chocolates, wine, beer, spirits and edible gift ideas. All new products have to fulfil the criteria of where they are produced and to make sure that each is a quality product at a price the customers will find acceptable – edible16 does the work so that customers do not have to.
The team has simplified the website by dramatically reducing the number of pages and made finding the products easier by re-categorising so that the whole shopping experience is hassle-free.
Simply visit www.edible16.org.uk, select your items, add them to your basket and pay. Place your order by midnight on a Wednesday and your order will be delivered to you by Friday evening. It really is that easy. Go on – visit www.edible16.org.uk today and you too can taste the very best that your local producers have to offer.
