local veg box schemes
Does anyone use any of the local organic fruit and veg box schemes and can recommend any ? How do the quantities work out, particularly if one husband and one child think fruit and veg are toxic to the body.

Foodsmiles at Westmill Farm do veg boxes with an emphasis on local, traceable, seasonal produce. The shop, although quite small, is excellent and well worth a visit. Cheaper than the farm shops, too.

Whichever you use, try and find one which allows you to adjust the quantity and content of the next delivery online. I gave up when I could no longer get past the brocolli, orange and spinach mountain to get out of my kitchen to buy carrots apples and potatoes.[:(]
On the other point, I also have charge of two children who will refuse any vegetable matter they spot. My solution is to grate it into the rest of the dish. They haven't worked out that my Shepherd's Pie contains 75% carrot, swede, onion and parsnip and very little real shepherd. Green stuff is harder to hide though and you my wish to puchase a roll of gaffer tape and a funnel to assist in getting them to eat it.[:D]

Thank you folks. Shunt - good to hear your view. Having a veg mountain was one of my concerns. I shall take a drive up to Westmill farm at some point.
