What box customers say<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n
\n

\u201cThe carrots taste like carrots again. Our two still pick round the kale, but they ask what is in the box every Wednesday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sample box customer<\/strong>
Family box<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI skip a week whenever I am away and it is never a problem. The list on Saturday helps me plan what to cook.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sample box customer<\/strong>
Small box<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe come for the eggs and always leave with more than we meant to. The strawberry morning is a fixture for us now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions about the box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anything else? Ask at the farm shop or give us a call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n
Where do you deliver?<\/summary>\n

Springfield and the villages within about ten miles of the farm, every Wednesday (example area). Further away? Collect from the farm shop any time from Wednesday noon to Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

Is it organic?<\/summary>\n

We are not certified organic, so we do not use the word. Ask us how any crop is grown and we will tell you, or come and see on an open day (sample answer).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

How do I skip a week or pause?<\/summary>\n

Message or call us by Sunday evening and that week\u2019s box is not packed or charged. Going away for a month? Pause the box and pick a date to restart (example).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

Can I swap things I do not eat?<\/summary>\n

Tell us up to three vegetables you never want and we leave them out, adding more of something else instead.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

What if I am not home on Wednesday?<\/summary>\n

Tell us a shady spot to leave the box: a porch, a shed or a neighbour. Leaves travel in a paper bag so they stay crisp for a few hours.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

What happens to the crates?<\/summary>\n

Leave last week\u2019s empty crate out and we take it back when we drop off the new one. Paper bags and cardboard go on the compost heap.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n
