Veg box recommendations - esp local

[katanita]

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.

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.

They look great rendelharris, thank you. And they don't use excessive amounts of plastic packaging?

No - one plastic bag, basically.
