We’re really excited to share that we’re now taking orders for our one off special Christmas Veg Bags (whilst we close our usual weekly veg bags during the Christmas period). Our Christmas Veg Bags will have 3 different bag sizes of Chemical Free festive vegetable favourites, with the opportunity to add a few extra items to make your Christmas dinner extra delicious!

What is the Windmill Community Gardens Veg Bag Scheme?
Our usual Windmill Veg Bags are available each week – packed full of fresh, seasonal, and chemical-free produce grown right here at Windmill Community Gardens Margate or sourced from other local Organic suppliers. It’s a simple and affordable way to eat local, support community growing, and enjoy veg that’s bursting with flavour.
Our Veg Bag Scheme runs from the Windmill Market Garden, a one-acre plot tucked behind Drapers Mill School in Margate. The garden’s cared for by our small team of staff, volunteers, and work experience participants, with everything we grow follows organic principles.
Each week’s bag changes with the seasons. In summer and autumn, everything comes straight from our garden. During the winter months, when things slow down a little, we top up from other local organic and chemical-free farms to keep things varied and interesting.
Why buy from us in Margate?
When you buy a veg bag from us, you’re gaining more than just getting great local food – you’re helping us keep our community garden thriving. The income we make helps to support our volunteer sessions, work experience placements, and free community activities and workshops.
We are always striving for a more sustainable community. Whilst delivering our weekly veg bags we also collect food waste and coffee grounds from our collection points, including Oast Bakery and the Grain Grocer, this is then composted at our gardens, and used to feed our soil and in turn helping us to create a circular system that keeps our produce and our planet healthy.
About Us
We’ve been growing at Windmill Community Gardens since 2004, turning what used to be derelict allotments into a green, vibrant space for everyone to enjoy. Now we have two one-acre sites, a community garden, forest garden, polytunnel, kitchen, wildlife areas and so much more.
Alongside growing food for our veg bags and local restaurants, we run volunteering sessions, workshops, and community events all year round.
