We've just started getting vegetable boxes from this great place called the Riverford Farm Shop (http://www.riverfordfarmshop.co.uk/). It's absolutely wicked! The veg that we've got so far has been so fresh and tasty, and it's so easy to update the order online to include all sorts of other things...chutney, ginger, various puddings etc. The price is pretty much what you'd expect to pay at a supermarket as far as I can tell...but a little cheaper. Plus it's all locally sourced. The only problem I have with it is that the delivery time isn't specific enough - on Wednesdays, but any time on Wednesdays. Tip - if you're thinking of ordering from them, make sure you have a black recycling box, because the veg boxes fit perfectly in them incase you're not in when they call.
So, why order from here?
Good for the environment (although I suspect this one to be more complex than people make out)
Great food
Slightly cheaper
Seasonal veg, so you're encouraged to be more adventurous with you food...and more in touch with the seasons...which can be nice.
Less physical shopping
Less horrible supermarket atmosphere
Supporting small local business
Who wouldn't want to?
