The seasons are coming round a bit quicker than I thought, with Norfolk Strawberries just 3 weeks away alongside Norfolk Peer New Potatoes. We will be adding both the Norfolk Peer and Norfolk Strawberries to both the add ons and build a box sections of the website. Ready selected Norfolk Veg Boxes, Salad Boxes and the Fruit Boxes will have these as an add on.
Norfolk Bunched Carrots are also on the list in the next 3 weeks. Our Norfolk Bunched Carrots are the best you can get and we are very excited to have a new grower working with this year who knows their stuff.
Norfolk Strawberries will be with the same grower we had last year, these are fabulous Norfolk grown strawberries filled with flavour and delightful to the eye. Our van leaves the farm at 5am every morning to pick them up so they are delivered fresh to you every day.
Norfolk peer are the same as always, these have to be the very best that Norfolk has to offer, we pick these up every morning throughout the season to get the very best we can for our customers.

Norfolk in a box !update!
Hello just a quick message to say thank you for all your orders. We are still very busy with our Norfolk Veg boxes, delivering all over Norfolk, Suffolk and parts of Cambridgeshire & Lincolnshire.
Our boxes are put together here at the farm in Norfolk, we currently have 4 extra staff in making the boxes from our cold room that we re stock every night ensuring everything you receive is super fresh.
We now have 5 vans out Monday to Friday all with 50-60 boxes on board (if I can get away with it). You can find your delivery day on the online postcode checker, located on the front page of the website. We are receiving a large volume of orders so we may still be running +24 hours on the delivery days but try to avoid this whenever possible. We aim to deliver on the day the website states.
Our local Norfolk Produce is picked up daily from local farmers, we have one lorry just doing this job, as you can imagine this driver does get about picking our fresh produce up.
Hope you are all staying safe and enjoying the beautiful sunshine.
Regards NIAB
Items in your box.
We have been receiving a few emails and phone calls with concerns on produce change in the ordered box.
In these uncertain times produce availability is changing daily. In the last 2 weeks we have seen broccoli increase in price 3 times over and butternut squash double in price. This is across the board on lots of the produce at the moment.
We are having to change box content all the time as and when produce is available and fresh.
All boxes are subject to change without notice.
Thank you for your support NIAB
Three More Weeks Lock down In Norfolk
With the news that we have 3 more weeks of lock down in the UK online orders/sales are still very strong. We are having to run a little differently here at Norfolk In A Box order before 6pm on a Saturday for delivery the following week still with free delivery.
In these uncertain times we have hired 4 additional vans to go alongside our own fleet of vehicles. We have also employed 11 more local staff to deal with this situation, 4 more drivers 4 packers over two packing lines, cold room staff and office staff.
We are a small company based in West Norfolk. Alongside Norfolk in a Box we also run Norfolk Produce, we supply eateries all over Norfolk, Suffolk & Cambridgeshire with our gorgeous Norfolk grown produce.
We also supply the London wholesale Markets with local Norfolk Produce. Here at Norfolk in a Box/Norfolk Produce we are very passionate about local Norfolk produce. We supply as much local produce as possible and travel to the wholesale market to hand pick all our other produce which is used to supply the eateries and Norfolk in a box.
We have a cold store here which everything is kept in ensuring the produce is kept fresh ready to supply our wholesale customers alongside Norfolk In A Box.
Our online success is down to a Norfolk Based Company www.futuredev.online this company this is a small family run business that not only designs websites but also puts themselves in your business shoes to understand both yours and your customers needs.
In these difficult times we are still taking orders and building our online business to deal with the home delivery side. The website is currently running on a order this week for delivery next week program. This allows us to control the stock issues that we are currently facing with world shortage of produce that is now occurring.
Stay Safe Please.
Bank Holiday delay
Something we had over looked was the bank holiday, with our local Norfolk butcher being closed over the long weekend we have had to put all of our deliveries behind one day. sorry for any inconvenience this may cause at this troubling time.
Norfolk Tipple
Our aim at Norfolk In A Box is simply to promote the very finest products that Norfolk has to offer.
Wild Knight® English vodka
Distilled by hand in small-batches from the finest Norfolk barley, Wild Knight English Vodka is exceptionally smooth. Soft on the palate, full of character and with a smooth, long finish, liquid silk is our favourite description.
Nelson’s Gold® caramel + vodka
We delicately blend our vodka with caramel and the result is an ultra-smooth, full-bodied, caramelised spirit. Deliciously decadent!
Wild Knight® Espresso Martini
Brand new and already a favourite! Wild Knight® Espresso Martini is made with our finest Wild Knight English vodka, infused with cold-brewed, single-origin speciality coffee, from the award-winning and conservation focused Guima Estate in Brazil.
Boadicea® English gin
First we create our spirit from the finest Norfolk barley and then redistilled to pass the alcohol vapour through a basket of the finest botanicals, including juniper, citrus and with a nod to the Icenis – nettle. This captures the delicate flavours to create a fine gin that can be sipped on its own or paired beautifully with elderflower tonic.
All available to order through the website @ Norfolk In A Box.
Update 29th March 2020
We are currently working around the clock sorting rounds and routes from the massive influx of orders we received last week. We were not expecting that to happen. We now have a small army of van drivers in place. We have hired 4 vans and have 4 of our own for next weeks deliveries. With 8 vans out on the road we will clear the back log. The website will re open on 1st April 2020 taking orders as normal, all orders placed will be for delivery the week after. At this present time this is the only way we can deal with the work load.
Thank you for bearing with us.
