vegetable box schemes
Just wondering if anyone has ever done this? I think my Mum has. Basically you can order a box (either weekly or just a 1 off if you like) of locally produced/organic/fair trade/whatever veg/fruit/salad and a selection gets delivered to your door. No guarantees on what you're going to get, but sounds interesting. They do a small box for £5 round here. Might give it a go!!

Kate's (my sister) old flatmate used to do that.
Was good stuff if I remember rightly... When I can be bothered to wander downstairs I'll see if she remembers the company and any other details

My boss did it for a while cost him like £14 a week (i think) and the stuff he got seemed quite good. Proper veg with the bits still attached

Well Kate couldn't remember so suggested I send a text... Which I did
 The answer came back as two different companies, both organic.. The Organic Delivery Company and Abel and Cole Hope that's useful Kate

Thanks guys
Think I might give it a go. The £5 is for a slightly smaller box. I think the biggies are family size. Will probably order one next week and see what turns up. It's good cos I can choose from veg, veg/salad or veg/fruit/salad so I can get salad boxes in the summer

Damn, that's a lot of money on veg. My whole weekly shop currently comes to less than that.
