Organic food delivery scheme recommendations

I used GrowWild (www.growwild.co.uk) for a time and liked the fact that there were different types of boxes to choose from.

But they only delivered to my area on a Thursday afternoon, which wasn't really convenient because a lot of the veggies didn't get used over the weekend.

Also got a cabbage with a caterpillar in it which put me off, though guess that it proved it was fresh

I get one from East Coast Organics, arrives on a friday and haven't had any major problems. They have a stall at the farmers market too. www.eastcoastorganics.co.uk

I'd recommend East Coast Organics as well, been using them for 3 or 4 years now without any problems (though they've recently had to increase their prices).

I get a box from Phantassie and am very happy with it.

I left ECO actually as the quality of our box just went down and down. A friend who wishes to stop the scheme with them due to low quality contents is now having a nightmare with them refusing to return an overpayment or her box deposit. Awful - I would not recommend them at all.

A real shame as their stall at the farmers mkt is always lovely.

We're thinking of trying Damhead Organics instead.

i was really admiring your carrots yesterday prune - i love dirty carrots - theres nothing better! and they were tasty too

How about Earthy? I've only recently moved back to Edinburgh, so haven't had a chance to try them, but I know one of the owners, and he is really lovely.

Ah, just seen that their home delivery option is "coming soon". Maybe just watch this space then
