veg box

[AvrilH]

Can anyone reccomend a veg box scheme? Or alternatively, a grocers in the west end?

Thanks!

waitrose, my love.

still not got around to going in there

is it not terribly expensive?

Roots and Fruits on Byers Road are nice.

Haven't been over since Waitrose opened. Is it worth the trip Aitch? (I sometimes hang out in the West End on a Wed afternoon before school comes out as we are Music Lessoning that day!)

this looks quite good.

New Year healthy eating resolution might force me to try it once, actually.

That's what we've been thinking about

I've also found two other companies that serve Glasgow:

lol yes, waitrose absolutely offensively expensive. we used to get a veg box but jeeesus christ the root veg... it was from a gang at the farmer's market, i forget the name.

Is it offensively expensive but worth going for a look??

< thinks about £50 John Lewis/Waitrose vouchers my parents gave us for Christmas .....>

yes, deffo, it's vair pritty. actually the deli counter always has an excellent cold meats offer, but apart from that i swear you won't be able to bring yourself to buy much. (well, i can't at any rate).

Maybe you shoudl come with me and hold my vouchers so I don't spend them all !

I would be happy to "look after" your vouchers for you

We used this company when we lived in Glasgow. The variety was ok and they grow most of it so the 'airmiles' issue wasn't too bad. And it's probably still cheaper than Waitrose

girrafes!!

How sad...MN-ing on Hogmanay!! However I just discovered the 'local' Glasgow link.

Fantabudozy!!

Anyway: I can' t recommend Growwild enough. We have been with them for over 2 years. Run by a girl called Lindsay. The meat is amazing. The service and personal touch delightful.

However- it is expensive, eg compared with Tesco shop&drop. Don' t know how long we can sustain it on almost no mat pay!

Happy 2010!
