Hi Kacy

If you look on this site http://www.vegboxschemes.co.uk/ you can find a veg box scheme local to you. Hopefully there will be one in your area

Have you got any local farms ? luckily I live rural so have got a choice.

One of my friends gets hers delivered with the milk so you could ask the milkman

Also do they work out cheaper and can you freeze any types of veg

I had a veg bag delivered each week but it was costing me about £17 and I thought that was too much but last week found a local farm doing them and just had my 2nd veg box from a local farm and I am soooo pleased I got :

2 x Leeks, 2 x small swedes, 6 carrots, 2.5kg pots, cabbage, cauli, 2 x beetroot, 2 x brown onion, 1 x red onion, bag of raddish, head of broccolli, iceberg lettuce, 4 x toms, bunch spring onions, cress, 1/2 cucumber all for £7.50

sorry to hijack, does anyone know if they do meat boxes?

hey hun,
riverford now do meat boxes not sure if they would be doing them in your area yet though as they've not long started so its not as wide a delivery area as the veggie boxes..........maybe worth a look though.
