Nationwide box scheme??

Options
Hiya,

I know there are already threads on this but after spending all morning searching (both on here and other sites) i am unable to find any scheme that delivers to Scunthorpe. Does anyone know of one that delivers nationwide?? I am really wanting to try one of these but finding one is proving to be a nightmare! All big barn is throwing up is a local farm shop (which i have to say is fantastic!) and i have emailed them but unfortuantely they do not deliver. As i don;t drive it makes shopping there a nightmare as it is just outside town.

Any help is really appreciated!
Thank you!

    Hmm... not even able and cole, who are national, deliver in your area yet!

    However, they say they expect to soon, so if you visit their home page and do the "Do we deliver in your area?" thing, you can leave your details with them so that they can notify you...

    You'll need to check - but this search on google comes up with some possibilities:-

    google scunthorpe +"box scheme"

  • Have you tried Farmaround North? They deliver to me, and you're not so far away. Put your postcode into the web site, and it will tell you if they deliver.

    Sadly, the much loved Love Food closed down last year. It was run by friends of mine, and I used it loads. It's sadly missed.

    When I saw the title of this thread, I (honestly) thought Nationwide Building Society must be branching out into a new line of business :o :rotfl:

    I presume you've tried the Pink Pig at Holme then? I went there just after Christmas with my mum (my parents don't live too far away from you) and I'm SURE that something was mentioned about a box scheme. Not living there now, I didn't really pick up any info, but I was sure I saw something. Then again, I was probably going mad after the divine bacon sarnie that I'd just had there! :D

    There's one a bit further south, just outside Kirton Lindsey called "Uncle Henry's". They've just opened last Autumn, but it might be worth asking. However, they're not specifically organic.

    Have you tried the Rustic sausages from the Pink Pig? Mmmmmmmmmm, MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm, yum. :D
