We've been getting a small veg box from North Aston for about a month now and we're very happy with it. The idea that it's properly local (only about 5 miles away), unlike some of the bigger schemes, as well as being organic is a bonus. They're also more efficient than some systems because they drop off at one pick-up point for each village (in my case, it's a few doors down on my road!). You get a discount for returning the box each week and the quality is very good, bearing in mind that cosmetic imperfections are no reason for excluding produce from the box.

A potential downside is that they don't allow you to tailor the contents of your box, as you can with the bigger suppliers, because they don't have the capacity to absorb varying demands. That said, they argue that there's nothing inedible in the box and they can give you plenty of recipes so that you can enjoy everything!

It's very affordable too: £8 covers almost all of our veggie needs for two people for a week and, being a vegan household, we need more veg than most!
