Organic vegetables
Fortunately,
organic fruit and vegetables are in plentiful supply in the UK with good
variety and quality being available in most supermarkets. In addition,
specialist companies are emerging who will ship a wide range of organic
vegetables and fruit direct to your door. Often called 'box schemes' these
vary from company to company but all are based around you purcasing a
box of supplier selected organic vegetables. Your box will be delivered to your
door with a range of seasonal vegetables and fruit (minus the ones you
have told them you don't like).
Box schemes are a particulary good way of supporting local producers
and an excellent way of eating in tune with the seasons. It's all too
easy to take the ready availability of foods for granted and when they
are there all the time don't they seem to lose a little flavour?
The links below will point you to a number of companies who have their
own box schemes.
To learn more about growing your own organic vegetables, visit our organic gardening section.
