We're a group of neighbours in Bittaford, Devon, who decided to buy our groceries together. By pooling our orders we access wholesale organic food at prices the supermarkets can't match.
Browse the weekly selection of organic staples, household goods and treats. Add what you need to your basket.
Keep browsing and amending. Watch the community progress bar grow as neighbours add their orders.
Orders lock at midday. If we hit the £600 wholesale minimum, the order goes to our suppliers.
30 minutes at the village hall. Volunteers sort the delivery, you grab your box, say hello, and go.
Food prices are rising. Supply chains are fragile. Supermarkets optimise for profit, not for communities. We believe there's a better way — one where the money stays local, the food is ethically sourced, and nobody gets left behind.
Through our Solidarity Pot, those who can afford a little extra help subsidise food for neighbours who need it. No forms, no stigma — just community looking after community.
Bittaford Batch is part of a wider ecosystem built around community food resilience:
The physical community hub. Village halls, volunteers, Saturday box days. This is where we actually gather.
The digital infrastructure powering the Batch. It handles ordering, payment pooling, price tracking, and coordination — so running a community food hub is simple, not stressful.
The environmental humanities research that grounds everything in deep ecology and social connection. Ensuring we stay rooted in relationships, not just transactions.
We only order what's already been paid for. No surplus stock, no food waste, no risk. If the community minimum isn't met, no order is placed and no money is taken. Simple.
