WHAT IS THE BEST SIZE BOX FOR YOU?
It all depends on the amount of fresh produce consumed by the household. The weekly, regular box, will provide lots of veggies for a family of four. A family of two might find that the weekly, small box suits their needs. These are only guidelines. If you’re unsure, start with a Trial subscription and see what works best for you.
The items are selected weekly by the farmer. 85-90% is grown directly on the farm. A small percentage is sub-contracted to other local, family run farms. All items in the box are clean, fresh and certified organic.
