Thanks for that!
I've spotted one that actually delivers in my area, so I've just spoken to my mom (who is in on their delivery day), and we think we will put in an order together and see if we like it! The one I looked at delivers food from all over Europe, so maybe food miles won't be drastically reduced, but it's another way of cutting out el supermarcado. |

my parents use that one, and they'd vouch that its very good. We use Coleshill Organics The Garden Cottage Coleshill Swindon SN6 7PT Tel: 01793 861070 www.coleshillorganics.co.uk they deliver to collection points within 25 miles of Coleshill - so that means in to West Oxfordshire as well as Wiltshire. You can collect from the shop as well. |

Given they start delievering to cambridge in the next week or so I am probably going to give everybody organics a go. I have looked into slightly more local cambridge firms but I have either been told bad things about them or they haven't been able to be terribly accomodating which has put me off
further away than is ideal but hopefully will further reduce our relance on supermarkets! |

| Pilsbury |
Just had a leaflet put through our door for this one http://www.theorganiccountrystore.co.uk looked at the web site but the boxes dont seem that big  what do others think or am i just being picky?

If you go to www.bigbarn.co.uk/, you can put your postcode in and it will give you all the local producers in your area.
This includes things like veggies and fruits, up to resaturants, farmers markets and crafty places. It's ver' handy indeed. |

I've used these guys for a few weeks now and been happy (with the exception of getting dates one week which I moaned about) They can do general groceries and bread, and are starting a meat scheme. The veg quality is good and mainly local, fruit is coming from further afield atm, but given the time of year that's a given unfortunately.
Area covered is around Cambridge and down to the herts border (we're in Royston) www.cofco.co.uk Helen_A |

We use Riverford - http://www.riverford.co.ukand think they are very good. Not the most local to us, but delivering to the door is wonderful for us, as is the ordering on the web. such is life when you work full time... | ||

I am just going back to riverford as abel and cole seem to just leave the box on the doorstep at 7am,so i find the box teeming with ants. Also there is allways a few rotten items at first i just thought it was a blip but this week i had five rotten potatoes , after a while you do get fed up of calling them up to get a small refund credit... so riverford i,m back to you | ||

Boxfresh Organics supply Shropshire and around (we're in Powys), and apparently now do Chester and Wolverhampton.
I like the quality of their stuff (and they do flour etc., too) and their service is excellent; but I am concerned about the airmiles the fruit/veg travels - it's one of the things I am trying to cut down. I'm sure I added this to the thread ages go - but I can't see it here. Clearly going mad  .

Westcountry bits and bobsThere are quite a few delivery bods around here; we've used Own Online quite often and they're very good - emphasis on locally produced organics and fair trade, with minimal packaging and a three-pound delivery charge for orders under fifty quid.We also used Riverford a couple of times, but the boxes - even the large ones - never seemed to account for people who expect veggies to form the main portion of their meals! Either that or we're just greedy... Probably that, come to think of it... 
Then there's also Rod and Ben, who do veggie boxes and more, and Wholefood, which does all sorts of slaver-inducing goodies. |
