The Sussex Peasant

The Sussex Peasant is about local farmers, local producers, and fresh local food.

Our supply chain is refreshingly simple: from a Sussex farm, to our trucks, to you. We take pride in sharing the stories of our farmers, promoting the benefits of eating seasonally, and showcasing just how delicious, wholesome, and competitively priced fresh local food can be.

We believe food doesn’t need to travel far. We collect fresh, seasonal produce directly from Sussex farms and bring it to you through our mobile farm shops, making local food convenient, accessible, and fairly priced. Our supply chain is short, simple, and transparent. No unnecessary packaging, branding or certifications.

We’d rather focus on the farms, the produce and the stories behind them. We want you to know where your food comes from and who grew it. Our passionate and knowledgeable team hopes to reconnect you with the land, the seasons, and the farmers behind every item we sell. This is how we used to shop and how we believe we still should. We want you all to enjoy your shopping experience again and know where your food comes from.

We sell fresh, seasonal produce from Sussex farmers and makers – fruit, veg, meat, dairy, bread, eggs, pantry staples, and more. Everything is locally sourced, transparent and high quality. Not everything is certified organic. We work with a mix of organic, biodynamic, regenerative and small trusted farms. Some follow organic principles but don’t have certification meaning you can speak directly with the grower about

We run weekly markets across Sussex including Brighton, Lewes, Hove, Haywards, Hassocks, Ditchling, Cuckfield and Danehill. You can check our website for a full timetable and locations.
