I think there was a thread some time ago about organic veg box schemes - which ones people had tried / liked / disliked etc, but I can't find it, so I will start another. Thinking of trying one this year. What are people's experience of them? Any you would recommend? I live in Essex so anyone in that area found a good local one?
I'm in Essex, and I have used riverfordsacrewell.co.uk, used to have a weekly box, sadly can't afford it right at this time x
I have been using Riverford for over a year now and am very happy with them.

I believe they deliver in many areas. Have a look at the website. What I like is that I can see in advance what's in the various boxes. A minibox lasts me two weeks sometimes as I'm on my own. The first time I had a box delivered it sat on my kitchen table and I swear it just exuded goodness. You don't have to place a regular order: I just phone my local agent when I want one. They're nice people and the veggies are super.
Yes - I had a look at Riverford and thought they looked good, so it is nice to have a recommendation. I think I'm going to give them a go. Thanks.
Not tried them myself but have heard several people say these were good - http://www.abelandcole.co.uk/
