How A Vegetable Box Scheme Works
A box scheme usually works by subscription. A customer signs up to a weekly or fortnightly delivery of fresh vegetables and/or fruit. The contents are not ordered by the customer, but are selected by the box scheme provider on the basis of seasonality and availability. Some schemes offer the option of purchasing extra goods to be delivered along with the vegetable box, such as dairy produce and meat.
An organic vegetable box scheme will be certified as organic by a government approved body, such as the Soil Association.
