Sorry if this question exists did a quick search and couldn't see anything similar.

I would like to try buying fresh fruit veg potatoes and eggs online do any of you shop online? or can recommend me a site? I don't want to pay ridiculous prices but I still want quality.

p.s I don't really want supermarkets I am after something that sells fresher stuff.

How do you mean, 'fresh'?! Are you after local, organic, seasonal produce etc? If so, try your local market, and build up relationships with the people that work there.

You can go for box schemes like Riverford etc, but expensive and unpredictable. May not be what you want.

Yes seasonal, we dont have a local market. I did look at riverford but they do seem expensive. Ok I will have to research this a little more.

In all seriousness you can't go wrong with your local green grocer, you can see the produce before you buy it.
