I've had organic boxes now for about 5 years and wouldn't be without it. We did stop for about 1 year as the scheme we used stopped, but now have a fantastic box delivered everyweek. The produce is great, mines just arrived today from Riverford I have a medium box for 2 adults & 1 child, but we do try and push the 5 portions a day. I love the flexibility, never really knowing what I'm going to get. Today's box has got leeks, potatoes, carrots, red onions, celery, broccoli and aubergine, swiss chard, white cabbage and a crown prince squash all for £11.50. It is delivered every Friday (depends on your area) and comes with a newsletter, recipe of the week. You can always check your predicted contents online, but this is liable to change depending on the weather and what is picked. If you decide that you want to change your order you can do this provided it's 2 days in advance of delivery. You can also add to the order. I manage all my orders online, I have a regular order setup, but add things if I want to. They also have a fantastic recipe bank on the site. We are very adventurous with our veg, DH is great at experimenting too. You can really taste the difference and I KNOW that no horrid pesticides are used and that I can safely eat the skins too. You get the odd bug, but that's life. I was amazed the other week, found something not uptoscratch, emailed the company and received free gifts the following week, I hadn't expected that. The customer service is fantastic. My daughter loves the veg and gets excited seeing what is in the box. DH doesn't like celeriac, but I adore it, he doesn't mind though cooking it especially for me.Good for you and the environment and I think much better than buying organic from Tescos, the company aim to buy in as local as possible. Tescos source organic and fly in, the whole idea is to reduce foodmiles too.
