  • Register with and connect your account to Stripe our payment provider.

  • Maintain transparency by giving clear, honest images and descriptions of your products – this must include ingredients, with ALLERGENS listed in CAPITALS.

  • If offering a product that is not grown or produced by yourself, the original producer must be listed in the product description.

  • Ensure that each customer receives exactly what they have ordered. You can offer customers a substitute, but customers are in no way obliged to accept them.

  • Deliver and distribute products in accordance with environmental health regulations, particularly in terms of maintaining the temperature of your produce, labelling and packaging. If you intend to leave your produce to be distributed by the Host then, if necessary, you must leave it within an insulated box with ice packs or similar. It is essential that you understand the Host and The Great British Food Hub are not responsible for maintaining temperatures and only distribute your produce as a courtesy.

  • Take the necessary precautions on the day of collection to ensure you arrive at the weekly collection in good time – customers should not have to wait and are not required to. If you are late and customers have left you may be asked to deliver the missed products to that customer’s address.

  • If you are unable to attend the collection take the necessary steps to allow a member of staff to attend in your place or contact the other producers to see if they can assist.

  • Always operate within the framework of direct selling where all the sales occur online. The transactions are between you and the customer from the point of order until the products are in the hands of the customer.

  • Work to develop lasting customer relations through excellent customer service and where possible support and collaborate with your fellow producers.
