Mega nice coconut curry with beluga lentils and black rice. Lovely veggies from Pennine Cropshare . I have a veg bag every fortnight and the veg is delicious and lasts for the fortnight

We want to say a huge thank you to all of our wonderful customers today, on

When we were reading about this year’s UN campaign, one message really stayed with us. It spoke about tuning into the urgent signals we are receiving from the earth, and thinking about our own actions as signals back to the earth.

Every time one of our incredible customers walks through the door, that is a signal. An action in support of the planet, THANK YOU.

When you choose to shop at Weighsted, you are choosing to reduce waste, cut down on single-use plastic, support more mindful consumption and be part of a community that cares about the future of our world.

Our friends at have extened their lovely range to include our furry companions.

Their shampoo bar for pets is free from addititives, made with natural ingredients and repels unwanted guests. Hurrah!

Oh yes, and they are made in Yorkshire, shopping local for the whole family! 🐶🐾

Fabulous news! Cargodale is back ! I've rejigged my website so you can just sit at home and press a few buttons. Plus we're so much nicer than ocado, other supermarket delivery companies are available. Lovely people let's support local businesses not the big companies who already have far too much money. Hope to hear from you soon xx

⚡⚡⚡ UPDATE INCOMING!!! ⚡⚡⚡

It's here!! The bike is ready... 🙌🚴🙌

Thanks to the lovely for bringing it back to life... and shout out to the equally lovely for letting me use it while I embark upon Project Cargodale 2.0!!

I am delighted that are one of several local businesses to have signed up to the new delivery service, along with , , , , , and .

This is a great start but I am eager to add more! If you are a local business anywhere in the Calder Valley interested in an eco-friendly delivery service, then please do get in touch! Feel free to drop me a message and I can answer any questions you might have.

I will also be offering personal delivery services for things like supermarket runs, launderette collections, big heavy bags of compost from the garden centre... in fact, anything big/awkward/heavy... I'm your man! Again, please feel free to leave a comment or send me a message with any questions you might have.

I will be using this bike on a trial basis to see if it is suitable for my needs, but also just to see if it is possible to make another go of this and to see if there is sufficient interest to make it a worthwhile venture. I will need the help of the wonderful community I so miss providing this service for!

Should all go well I will be needing to raise startup funds, primarily to buy the bike on a permanent basis and also to cover other costs for things like storage, equipment and insurance. I will be launching a Crowdfunder in the coming weeks and I would be hugely grateful if you could donate anything you can afford towards this.

Hope to be out on the road again for you very soon!

Do we post about chocolate too much...?

At team Weighsted we're a bit chocolate obsessed, and we're really into at the minute.

They don't use any refined sugars, all organic ingredients, fairtrade, vegan and all round health concious.

Each bar is wrapped in lovely brown paper so it's plastic free too.

Our only issue is that they suggest one bar is two servings. We can devour one bar with a cup of tea in about 12minutes!

I know people don't send letters very much nowadays but here's a great reason to start. They raise money for this super charity x

Many of us are looking for simple ways to reduce our exposure to microplastics.

It can feel overwhelming at times, so we like to focus on small, affordable swaps that add up over time.

One easy place to start is in the kitchen: switching from plastic cooking utensils to beautiful wooden ones. It’s a simple change that feels good to use every day, and lasts for years.

We have a lovely selection in stock to chose from.
