    I ordered 2 cauliflowers,they were fine,2 bags of onions....a couple were a bit mouldy.The potatoes were very good and the carrots were fine.I was very pleased.I see they have changed the postage now.I was surprised it was free if you spent £50 or more.The boxes that arrived at mine were very heavy,and there was 5 of them.I will be ordering again.

    Ditto.

    Their website is a bit uninformative on the subject of who they actually are. Even their T&Cs page, which you would have thought would have spelt out exactly who they are, states that the terms "ROSSPA or us" refer "to the owner of the website whose registered office is Southend Road, Billericay, Essex CM11 2UQ" without actually stating who that owner is. (Or not that I could see at least.)

    However by means of diligent detective work (as in typing some words into Google) has led me to conclude that ROSSPA is run by the same people who run the Barleylands Farm Shop (http://www.barleylandsfarmshop.com/) on the basis that they both

    a) are offering exactly the same deal on Jordons Country Crisp and Snickers bars (I stopped at 2 items), and
    b) share the same address (Which given that there isn't that much else on the Southend Road is probably saying something.)

    Now granted, the Barleylands Farm Shop isn't that much more informative regarding ownership, but this news report - http://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/2338402.0/?act=complaint&cid=1660628 - refers to "HR Philpot and Son, which owns Barleylands Farm Shop" but "leases the business to shop managers". This doesn't tell us who the 'shop managers' are, but since the news report is based on the fact that the local council was taking planning action against the farm shop because management was turning it into a 'mini Tesco' I feel sure that we're talking about the same people.
