Duchy Home Farm

The produce is used as ingredients in Duchy Originals products, sold in vegetable boxes, and wholesaled to supermarkets and restaurants.

In 2006, Patrick Holden, director of the Soil Association declared that "I don't think it can be overestimated" how much that was due to Charles's influence.

The growing demand for the boxes and requests from customers to choose their own produce led to the creation of The Veg Shed.

[1] It closed in May 2013 after eight years of trading because it was no longer making a profit; in 2014 the area given over for vegetable production was being grazed by rare breed pigs.

[5][6] The shop was known for its "evocative potting-shed smell"[1] and for selling unusually shaped vegetables that would normally be rejected for sale in supermarkets.
