Veg boxes in Kent

I know it's not strictly OS but I'm hoping to get into a better routine with my veg and the like so I can have less waste.
So I came up with the bright idea of having a veg box delivered bi-weekly but I'm having a problem finding somewhere that delivers to me. I was hoping *crosses fingers* that someone lives in the same area who gets one or is with a company that will deliver. I live in the Chatham area. I have tried a couple of companies that have been metioned but they don't deliver here yet. Unless they're hiding in the closet, I am quite surprised that such a farmed area, like Kent, is not covered more with box deliveries.
Anyway, any help at all would be appreciated

hope someone is able to help you - I just done a quick google for chatham and it didn't throw up much for organic boxes.
Don't suppose you have a farmers market nearby? Perhaps enquire there?- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

DD lived in Rochester until recently and I was surprised at how few greengrocers there were in the area. Most of the farm shops seem to be further east than you too.
Rochester has a farmers market once a month and there were some reasonable veg stalls there last time I went.0 -
I live in Kent and have the same problem - we could only have Abel & Cole and they're not good value at all. I've now found a local farm that delivers, but I live on the coast, so it wouldn't be any good to you - sorry.
Have you tried Riverford? - they might not deliver to your area yet, but I registered with them and if they get enough interest they'll start one.0
