What size Riverford box do you get? Anybody getting the fruit & veg box?

[MilaMae]

Currently getting the large veg box and the fruit box for my family of 5. Need to save money and getting fed up with the orange/kiwi and chard mountains that dc don't eat just dp and I.

Thought I'd switch, wondered what others get.

Yep, we get the fruit and veg box. we run out of apples and bananas and need a mid weke top up, but with a decent veggie cury night once a week ro whatever it suits us.

Also a family of 5.

Thanks for that will defo switch then as currently doing the apple and banana top up anyway. Will save me quite a bit.

I vary which box I have by not having a regular order set up and ordering on line on the cut off day. This also means that I don't have to order a box every week if we don't need it.

I do love my riverford box though.

i vary depending on mood/season.

fruit/veg option is one we've been getting most recently. with added lemons. and fennel.

there's only me and DH (we're ttc). so we alternate between the mini-box and the winter box. Then with fruit I alternate with the fruit bag and bananas.

I often find it takes the two of us at least two weeks to get through the fruit bag.

I used to get a fruit n veg box from Abel & Cole, but I found that there was never much choice and you'd get the same fruit each week. I much prefer alternating.

We get the large veg and a fruit box but like you we top up with bananas mid week. Do the grapefruit ever get eaten in your house?

We get Rivernene, which is the Midlands version. I place a weekly order, rather than a regular order, so that I can avoid celeriac!

I generally end up getting the medium box and then just ordering a bag of bananas and another bag of fruit, Or sometims the small box, 2 lots of fruit and maybe an extra veg item if I want something specific. I don't know that this would save you money, but it would stop you getting things you don't like.

We are 2 adults, 2 toddlers.

we love grapefruit! send them to me!

we got sooo bored with the glut of cabbages tho. there are only so many cabbage recipes a couple can eat each week.

astrophe - we also love doing gratins with celeriac, didn't get so much of it this year.

I had never had celeriac until we got it in a veg box. I put in in soup and it ruined it! We threw it out. So now I avoid celeriac at all costs!
