I would like to order organic fruit and veg but can't find anyone who does it in the area.

I live in the Northampton/Rugby area, anyone know of any companies who deliver round here?

There's a farmshop in the east midlands - http://www.farmshop.net/ they do deliver some things nationwide. There is also a list links to organic food suppliers and the areas they serve here.

riverford are fantastic, and i disagree that the veg is more expensive than tescos organic stuff - if i haven;t got my veg box for some reason i always seem to spend loads more on it at tescos. riverford stuff is also much better tasting.

for anyone looking for a box scheme try looking at https://www.whyorganic.org for a directory of places running box schemes.

thanks for this - has prompted me into action after spendin £40 on organic fruit and veg for two - lots of soup and for a few weeks - but I like the idea of not having to choose for a while ;D

someone has posted that the box is cheaper than tescos, so now I'm really interested - can anyone tell me (so I can do a price comparison) how many (or what weight) of each item you receive in a box. I'd probably be interested in the SMALL veg box, the FRUIT box and the mixed FRUIT & VEG box. If I can get hol d of the quantities I'll post a tescos price comparison if anyone would like me to. Thanks
