We Grow Co
A social enterprise in Churchtown, Southport, growing fresh fruit and vegetables and running a work placement scheme for autistic young people — bringing food, community and opportunity together through veg boxes, a farm shop and a wider local supply network.
Background
We Grow Co is a social enterprise in Churchtown, Southport, where every veg box is more than fresh produce. Alongside growing high-quality fruit and vegetables, the team runs a work placement scheme for autistic young people — putting the people they support at the heart of everything they do.
The growing side uses sustainable methods, season extension and on-site compost made from diverted food waste, with free-range chickens adding eggs to the offer. Direct relationships with local farmers, producers and suppliers keep the boxes diverse year-round. Customers can subscribe to a weekly veg box, top up with pantry goods, fruit and gifts, or visit the Farm Shop in Churchtown.
How our platform has helped We Grow Co
Growing Good has helped We Grow Co expand their customer offering and move away from managing orders through messages. Where the team used to take and track orders manually, customers can now manage everything themselves through the website — placing subscriptions, adjusting their veg box, adding pantry items, fruit or gifts, and updating preferences without messaging the team.
That shift has freed up time at the farm to focus on growing, packing and supporting the young people on placement, while giving customers a smoother, more independent ordering experience that scales with the social enterprise as it grows.
