katanita Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Any recommendations for good veg boxes/deliveries? Especially from local suppliers or for local pickup. Been using Abel and Cole for years, and they are very slick and easy to use, but the amount of plastic that is turning up in my box is starting to defeat the purpose (including Italian salad bags, hmm). Thanks in advance. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/152397-veg-box-recommendations-esp-local/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendelharris Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 We've just started using Local Greens https://www.localgreens.org.uk/ and are very happy with them so far: not-for-profit, sourced as locally as possible and excellent produce. To cut down on the delivery footprint they have collection points outside pubs and shops, as a customer one gets the combination to the box and takes one's order. We collect from the Cherry Tree, which is an added bonus as rude not to have a quick couple of pints at the same time...Disclaimer: no connection with Local Greens beyond being a satisfied customer.

katanita Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 They look great rendelharris, thank you. And they don't use excessive amounts of plastic packaging?
