I really look forward to my veg bag, and when I'm overloaded I can chose to skip the week or donate the value of my bag to a local foodbank. Particularly good is the "swap box" facility at my pick up location, tickles me to realise how different our tastes are. I'll merrily take your beetroots for my carrots. - Gloria

Delicious produce, simple collection process, great customer service, and ultimately the best way to support our local farmers! - Sofia
