Hi all - we have our latest Sail Cargo Delivery confirmed in November. Sailing vessel Bessie Ellen is coming into Bristol docks and from there we are arranging onward delivery to Brighton by biodiesel/electric vehicle.

As well as individual orders which would be great we are also interested in any other outlets who may be interested in stocking any of the products. Here is a link to our page for more info: https://openfoodnetwork.org.uk/sail-cargo-se/shop#/

This round we have vegan wines and port, mezcals from Mexico, olive oils, olives, sea salt and almonds with collection points and bike delivery in Brighton. If anyone is interested in being a hub anywhere else let us know.

We are part of a wider network called the Sail Cargo Alliance, which brings together sail cargo vessels, growers and brokers.

• All surplus from Sail Cargo South East goes to the Community Sailing Fund, established to help people from community groups in Sussex access our sailing activities
• We pay producers a fair price up front, around 50-65% of the prices you pay goes direct to them, with accountability in our pricing outlined with each product
• Importing high quality products that don’t grow on our islands, we are developing solutions that are small, simple and local. We are looking towards a future where we know we need to use less energy
• By working towards zero emission transport we are taking practical steps in the face of climate chaos with an informed sense of urgency
• Community supported shipping helps us keep control of food supply chains and expands the skills base of all those involved.
