Looking for recommendations really.

I have years ago but when the children were at home worked out very expensive. Now it's just DH and me I thought we might go back to them.

Can anyone recommend one please? Midlands area if that's relevant.

Thanks

We do, but get it through our local greengrocer in our town (SW). It might be worth checking locally if any greengrocers or farm shops offer one?

I have Riverford veg/fruit/milk/eggs/butter delivery weekly and am very happy with it.

The greengrocer at our local market started doing online ordering with free delivery on orders over £20 during lockdown and now has liveried vans and everything, so it's clearly been popular, I get a delivery from them once a fortnight as a top-up, or if I can't be around on my Riverford delivery day and have to skip that week. Plus although I can and do swap my Riverford box around to get the one that suits me best that week, sometimes you just need to be able to choose exactly what you want.

Riverford here too. Started when DS2 was born, he is now nearly 17. Good quality and makes us eat things we probably wouldn't bother with. Like the fact it is seasonal so you really notice what produce is around at different times of year and eat it at its best.

Riverford here too, for over 15 years, I think. Has made me try new things instead of the same old veg, the produce is seasonal, often local and tastes amazing, much better than supermarket fruit and veg, plus they are now employee owned and are really serious about sustainability, not just greenwashing.

Thank you... off to google Riverford....

Local grocer, goes to the wholesale market, really good.

Lidl too good to waste boxes are put out every morning. They're £1.50 for a big box of fruit and veg. If you live near a Lidl, I can't recommend them enough.

I get Oddbox every week. Very happy 😊
I can share a referral link that gives you £10 off (which is the cost of one of the boxes) if you want to try 😊

I'm thinking of trying Riverford. Do you have to sign upfor a box every week? How easy is it to opt out for a week or two?
