    Been discussed before, several times. Try here

    We use Riverford and all the stuff seems to be very fresh. Used to buy from Spitalfields Market, but then the market management decided they didn't want lots of fruit and veg sellers and engineered there departure.

    Where are you based? I'm VERY pleased with my farmaround delivery. (Farmaround.co.uk or farmaroundnorth.co.uk. I don't know if it's just certain parts of England or if they cover more of the UK.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.
