So, before Christmas, there was a knock on the door.
It was a rep from a group of local farms who were doing fruit and veg boxes of various sizes as well as meat and dairy products etc.
The claim was that it's grown locally, so low food miles etc, and at or below supermarket prices.
We're veggies and home cook most meals so get through a lot. I said we'd take the weekly small box to start with, well aware we'd still need to get a lot from the shops ourselves.
One thing I've noted is the inclusion of "exotic" fruit - bananas, kiwi, mango, pineapple and melon.
However, even though it's not expensive, I also dispute the pricing. How much was this?
