A business venture set up in a restored Victorian kitchen garden near Wallingford aims to present customers with boxes of fresh, organic vegetables picked on the day of delivery.

Catherine Ducker, who set up Green Bean at Little Stoke, said: "There is a lot of emphasis now on people wanting to know how and when their vegetables were grown, how far they've had to travel and how they've been treated.

"I am assuring people their vegetables and herbs from me are organically grown, absolutely fresh and have had to travel only from Little Stoke."
