    I would highly recommend your veg boxes. It is great to get lovely local produce which tastes great and is bursting with vitamins and minerals unlike those sitting on supermarket shelves.

    Also, saves on all the packaging!

    I am very interested and have PMd.

    I was only the other day looking into Veg box schemes, and couldnt find anything local on the net, so this is good timing!

    We have had some local produce before (my aunts friend has a farm, so we get a few bits when my aunt is up visiting) and the taste is just so much better! And Im all for lining locals pockets as £10 for a box of veg is going to be cheaper than what I pay at Tesco!

    Hi Puffin Croft

    The vegetable boxes sound great and I am interested - would you be able to give a rough idea of what is included [using say this weeks as an example?]? Just wondering if the veg boxes would cover a family of 5 for one week? Also, how much would a dozen hens eggs be?

    @ puffin croft: I have sent you a PM,

    I may be interested in this too if you could let me know as well what is in a typical box, and how much hens eggs cost.

    Ive started off as weekly, but will go down to fortnightly if we are finding it too much.

    I have a weekly box as love my veggies!! Also Benjy, my dog, gets through a lot of carrots!lol

    Haven't had a bad tattie since getting these boxes which is great as, before that, it was a real struggle to get a decent tasting tattie.
