Definitely interested in this service. Would be most convenient if I could order and pay online.
Also, could you give more details as already suggested. Thanks
I was just wondering about the details of delivery, i.e. what area? what cost? what quantity? what? I’m sure these details must on one of the sites that you are mentioned on but I have, as yet, been unable to find them and I apologise if this causes you any inconveience.
Hi, really interested in the box scheme but would love some more information about the type and quantity of veg we would recieve for £10/week. Maybe a photo of a typical box would be a useful addition to the website? Many thanks, Cathy.
I see there are lots of questions about the veg box and how much it weighs. I don’t think you can assess in terms of weight because lots of the nicest things don’t weigh as much! I have been enjoying a veg box for a while (but am not part of the company, so I hope they don’t mind me answering).
Last week I got :
* Potatoes (about 1kg – very fresh new potatoes so the skins just rub off),
* onions (~4 large), and
* a lovely bunch of fresh carrots tied by their leaves (probably 8-10 carrots?). This is pretty standard. There was also:
* lovely ripe tomatoes on vine (~5 large),
* broccoli,
*a big bag of sugar snap peas,
* handfuls of broad beans, and
* a huge lettuce of purple and green crinkly leaves such as I’ve never seen in the shops but made our salads and sandwiches look and taste amazing.
Compared to what I was paying in the veg shop for this, I have found it to be a really good deal. I hope you enjoy it too.
Hi Lynn,
I’d like to run an article about Vista Veg can you get in touch / let me have a couple of paragraphs on the background to the project and some pics please? Let me have anything you’d like me post on our Specials Boards – Xmas Bag / delivery dates and areas etc
Anything you’d like us to promote for you!
Cheers

Just had a delicious veg casserole made with your latest wonderful bag of root veg. Throw in a tin of tomatoes, handful of lentils, turmeric, garlic and cumin. Slow oven 3 hours. Perfection.
