Hi
Apologies if this is the wrong forum but I have decided to start getting a veg box on a weekly/fortnightly basis, mainly cause my son is just starting solids and I want him to have organic if poss.
I have found East Coast Organics and Grow Wild and both seem pretty good but does any one have any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance x

    I've been using Bellfield organics for a while - large net of stuff for £10 and organic eggs is what I normally get
    They're based in Fife

    I used Bellfield as well - no complaints. Not at present though as I'm having to be even more frugal:angry:

    me too actually - they've just said it going up to £11
    Is that the tipping point for me?

    I usually stop it in the summer anyway as I have homegrown veg

    I have used East Coast, Phantassie and The Whole Shebag. All were good but my favourite is Phantassie as they offered a no potatoes option and I don't eat many spuds.
    So I would say any of those, depending which suits your budget.
