Orion Farm Buying Group


  • Kerosene - December / Christmas deliveries - We will soon be into December and

    Christmas will also be upon us. Please make sure that you get any orders that you require to be delivered before Christmas placed in good time. There is not a specific cut-off date currently with the suppliers but as they get busier lead times will extend & at some point they will be unable to make pre-Christmas deliveries, though that may not be for a few more weeks.


  • Delivery Lead Times - Suppliers are getting busier with the lead in to Winter. Some are looking up to 7 working days for delivery - please bear this in mind when ordering.


  • Fuel Cards - Did you know that Fuel Cards are available via the Group. Already being used by a number of members, they offer the convenience of monthly billing via your Orion account, savings with consistent pricing and a broad range of card options, all with no transaction fees. Please contact the office if you would like more details.


  • Important - Ford Fuels delivery Update - Fords have updated Orion with the following information on Fuel Tanks that they will no longer be able to deliver to:

    • Any machine.

    • Tanks that they deem to be unsafe.

    • Tanks where they can’t see the ullage.
