LARGE VEGETABLE BOX (£12)This box contains about 10 vegetable varieties. Generally, it will include potatoes, carrots, and onions all year round; some green vegetables like spinach, broccoli or cabbage; roots in the winter and salads in the summer. We are happy to omit one item that you do not like, and add extra potatoes instead to make up the value of the box. ................ |
