The Benefits of Your Local Veg Box

Organic fruit and vegetable boxes bring the very best in fresh, local produce to your door.

Most veg box companies vary the items included every week - what better way to experiment with those recipe books getting dusty on the shelf!   Your veg box delivery will usually include a range of staple foods such as onions, potatoes and carrots alongside an array of seasonal produce.   Many companies feature very unusual varieties that you may not find on your supermarket shelf, inspiring you to try new ideas in the kitchen.  And by buying from a local farm, your veg box supports the local community and small farms producing foods in a traditional manner.

Fruit and veg box companies generally deliver weekly and give the option to exclude any items that you particularly dislike, a range of box sizes are offered to ensure you get maximum value for money.   You can usually pick a vegetable or fruit only box, or a combination of the two.  Some companies supply other local produce such as organic milk, eggs and bread.

Organic foods are subject to strict regulations to ensure they are meeting high standards; look for the seal of approval from The Soil Association or other official certification body.
