buying fruit/vegetables in Edinburgh

Vital_Spark_2

Tesco do a delivery service and online shopping they also have a reasonably line in organic foodstuffs includig fruit and veg.

The East Coast Ecobox delivery of organic veg is okay if you use the veg they send but if you're last in the line for delivery you'll get what everyone else didn't want and swapped from your box. If using them, make sure you specify what you want and that no veg or fruit has to be swapped from your box.

I have never had any problems with my Easy Coast Organics box - always better quality and cheaper than Tesco organic as well as the veg at least being almost all local - a lot of Tescos organic produce is imported. Plus on deliveries of £10 a week or more, East Coast delivers for free whereas Tesco charges for delivery.

Have also heard that Argyle Place (Marchmont) has 2 or 3 good fruit and veg shops for people on that side of town.

I used East Coast Organics box once and stopped it because the quality was awful - couldn't use the carrots or potatoes. I go to Tattie Shaws and love them and Crombies for all my meat.

Very odd - my weekly carrots and spuds are always very tasty - what was wrong with yours? Are you sure it was East Coast organics?

Tattie Shaws and Crombies are both good too though - can particularly recommend the Toulouse sausages at Crombies.
