feature: food boxes Fin and Farm Muir Jankowski What is Fin and Farm? It’s like a veggie box service, but we also sell a lot of fresh, seasonal, local produce items, such as fruit juices, milk, charcuterie, cheese, spice blends and meat. It’s all sourced from Sussex producers, between Chichester and Hastings. Where’s your warehouse? We don’t have one! All our produce is collected and delivered on the same day in our refrigerated truck, which ensures freshness. Customers can order online, and there are up to two deliveries a week. How many different products do you offer? Over a thousand in any given month; this will increase in the summer, when there’s more diversity. Are you an ethical company? As ethical as we can be. We feel that we are supporting the local economy, and attempting to limit our carbon footprint at the same time. We offer a very fair and personal service to our producers, too, because we see them twice a week and offer them customer feedback. Who are your customers? A surprisingly diverse range of people from young singles to families to old couples. And a number of restaurants and pubs, such as The King’s Head, The Snowdrop, Limetree Kitchen and Laporte’s and Iydea, The Foragers, The Chimney House and Troll’s Pantry in Brighton and Hove. What’s your role in the company? My partner Nick and the third member of the team Jim do all the collecting and delivering. They sometimes have to be up at 4.30am. My job is the nice one: administration and customer relations. I visit a lot of farms and keep track of what we’re offering online. I spend most of my time on the internet looking at pictures of food. What problems do you encounter in the business? Usually the weather: droughts, floods or snow can cause havoc with crops and delivery. Once, donkeys trampled a field of carrots. We’ve never failed to make a delivery, though we’ve been late once or twice when it’s been snowing. In January 2010 during that cold snap, Nick had to heroically jump out of the van and stop it sliding down Southover Street, one of the steepest in Brighton. It was a baptism of fire… or ice maybe. Where’s the ‘fin’ come in? We used to deliver fish as well, and we might do again, but we’ve decided to concentrate on other products. Is the vegetable produce dull in winter? We try to avoid that “oh no, not another turnip” response. We offer peppers and salad leaves all year round. Local producers are very imaginative and there’s always a wide variety of vegetables on offer. Give us a top cooking tip… Make a paste of smoked paprika and smoked salt mixed with maple syrup and spread this, with a little olive oil, on grilled slices of aubergine. This makes great fake bacon, for a credible vegetarian BLT. Alex Leith 07966 972530, finandfarm.co.uk 69
