Veg Boxes

What companies do you all get your veg boxes from and would you reccomend them?

I looked at one a while ago and was surprised that they put things in that have been flown in! I'd rather get a box that contains seasonal veg preferably from local farms but at least from within England.

Google is always my friend when it comes to things like this :wink:
We found our last veg box scheme through Google (a company called "Local's Best", who sourced all the produce from local farms in Herts, Beds & Bucks) but they closed up shop recently, so we've been visiting the farm shop that supplied most of the produce :D Real shame that they stopped delivering as the selection was great & when Erin was small, it meant that we always had a ready supply of fresh veg & some fruit.
We've recently looked at ordering with another one that has popped up on Google, called Garden Friend, again it's all supposed to be locally sourced, which I prefer. Will let you know how I get on...
Good luck with your search :thumbsup: Sometimes the only way to know if the scheme is any good or not is to give it a whirl...

Thanks, I've found Sunrise organics that is in Hemel so not far away and also Church Farm in Stevenage but I'm not certain about the size of their box, it says 6 portions for their smallest box which sounds tiny!
