10 reasons to choose Farmbox

2. Save money

Buying your fresh fruit and vegetables from us will save you money. We will always aim to offer like-for-like produce at a cheaper price than the supermarkets, and once more you know you will be buying fresh local produce. What’s more, delivery is free!

3. Eat More Healthily

Having fresh produce delivered to your home on a set frequency is essential to obtaining the recommended 5+ daily servings of fruits and vegetables.

4. Nutrition

Supermarket produce is often over a week old, losing more nutritional value each day after harvest. Our produce is picked daily from our local farmers’ fields, whereby it is collected by us before being delivered to your home.

Although admittedly difficult to quantify, we are very confident that purchasing Local Farm Box produce will have far less environmental impact than buying from a supermarket. Our seasonal produce is grown locally to you, we do not use unnecessary packaging, we encourage the re-use of our boxes, and compared to the supermarkets our transport mileage is negligible.

Local Farm Box requires no long-term commitment and allows you to cancel or suspend deliveries at any time.

7. Flexibility of the service

Choose the delivery frequency that fits you best: whether it is the one-off ‘try us out’ option, a weekly delivery, every other week, or every 3rd week. Going on holiday,
or need a break from deliveries? No problem - just let us know when you would like to resume your service. Also, it is straightforward to customise your standard delivery to exclude items you do not wish to receive or add additional servings for items that you would like more of.

8. Variety and Selection

We are able to choose varieties from our local farmers that are grown for flavour and are suitable for the local growing conditions, rather than for ease of handling or cosmetic perfection.

9. Convenience

Take away the hassle of driving and parking up at the supermarket in order to get your fresh produce. Shop via this website, we will deliver to your doorstep. Jobs a goodun!

We deliver Monday to Saturday, 6 days a week. Next day delivery, if ordered before 12pm (for a non-meat order), if required. There is no delivery charge. Our delivery service covers a large area – basically a circle from Bude to Minehead, Tiverton to Exeter then Holsworthy back around to Bude.
