How We Pack & Deliver

Orchard Sprint Gloucester works with nearby farms to prepare fresh, simple fruit boxes with practical delivery bands around the city and close-by towns. Produce is checked on arrival, sorted by ripeness, and cushioned in recyclable trays.

Same-day drops run on limited routes. Wider areas go next-day on early vans with a clear morning or afternoon window so the recipient can plan the hand-off.

Weekly picks follow the season: apples and pears, soft fruit when available, and occasional orchard extras like juices. Add short notes at checkout if you prefer firm fruit or a ready-to-eat mix.

A care slip is included in each box with simple tips: keep cool, avoid stacking soft fruit, and rinse before serving. Most selections keep well with ordinary home storage.

What if no one is in?
