I use East Coast - also tried Damhead and was disapointed with them, sorry not tried Grow Wild but if nobody else replies I would say try them for a week and see (you can always cancel)"The happiest of people don't necessarily have the

of everything that comes along their way."

I used Grow Wild for about 6 months but moved house and changed to East Coast. The qualitly of the veg was good but they were a bit random with delivery times, some weeks it would arrive at 3pm, once it didn't arrive till 8.45pm and usually it was somewhere between the two. This made planning for dinner on the night it arrived interesting.
The main advantages I found with Grow Wild were that they took payment by debit card once a month rather than having to leave out a cheque with the box every week. Also that you had options of different boxes - eg normal box, uk only box, med box.- so when you fancy something different it was easy to change it. There also are quite a few extras that you can add to your box, they had great special offers every so often on their website.
The main disadvantage that I found was that the standard boxes do not come with potatoes in them but you could add them regularly if you wanted. I often ended up with vegtables that I had no idea what they were and had to e-mail photos of them to my grandpa to find out. This was fun sometimes but thinking what to cook with fennel can be interesting at the best of times. Also there is no regular things that come in each box though generally you get onions, carrots and mushrooms each time.
I would suggest trying it for a couple of weeks to see how you get on.2007 comping challenge - Won £25 / need £1040 -

Here is a pdf of organic food& box schemes in PERTH, ANGUS, FIFE & KINROSS.
Bee organics operate in your area but I am not sure if that is the one you have tried before.
Also this site A lot of organics have a lot of information of different food suppliers in different area.0 -
I tried Bellfield Organic nursery for a while, the boxes were ok but I felt they were a touch too expensive for what they delivered. Their website is at http://www.bellfield-organics.com/
Lately I've seen a van from https://www.mylocalfarm.co.uk in the area a lot (I'm in North Lanarkshire).0
