Sales of organic produce via box and mail order has more than doubled last year to 400,000 according to the soil association.
A weekly box of fresh fruit and vegetables is delivered direct to your door, office or local collection point. The boxes contents varies each week according to whats in season.
Some include meat, wine and whole foods and vary from £15 to £25 per box.
Produce is locally sourced, keeping unnecessary packaging, storage and transportation costs to a minimum, and most is farmed organically.
By shortening the supply chain it gives customers greater confidence about where their food has come from and how it has been grown. It is therefore a convenient alternative to trekking to the farmers market!
A good example I found is Abel & Cole. Check out their blog : http://www.abelandcole.co.uk/blog/
