[london.food] organic box scheme

[prev] [thread] [next] [lurker] [Date index for 2005/11/24]

recently, we signed up for deliveries from UK5 Organics, who run a box 
scheme service.  i'd never done this before, but after having received two 
boxes, i've signed us up for a fortnightly subscription.

the boxes are quite large and come with quite a variety of veg and fruit. 
potatoes, carrots, bananas, and apples come as standard with other things 
varying by season.

i've been pleased. the biggest advantage for us is that since we have 
more veg in the house, we are compelled to come up with creative ways to 
eat it, and are therefore eating a lot more healthily on average.  last 
week, we got a winter squash and some kale, so i ended up making squash 
kale barley stew and it was quite nice -- but not something i would have 
ever thought of making if picking things up at the supermarket.

      Candace, do you find that the vegetables last two weeks?
