What’s in my veg box this week?

Glasgow’s Veg Box Delivery for
22nd August 2023

Hello, hello!

I hope you’ve all had a fantastic summer! This week we have some beautiful goodies for you all. The first of the English apples are coming through; we’ve got raspberry ripples this week which are super tasty and are a little different. They have quite pinky flesh which is fun.

Purple sprouting broccoli is also making an appearance. Perfect for a salad or roasted up as a side. We have also got some hefty British leeks this week. I’ve been really enjoying trying out burnt leek-based recipes – sounds mad but they’re super lovely mixed in with a roux, some butterbeans, lots of garlic and served with roast potatoes.

There has been lots of work on wee improvement for our services the last few weeks so watch out for some exciting changes coming soon!

On that note we will also be increasing our delivery cost to £3.50. This will be implemented in the next few weeks. Unfortunately, with costs rising so much recently and having held off on increasing our charge for as long as possible, this is a necessary increase to sustain the delivery costs.

As always, any feedback is greatly appreciated. Hope you all have an amazing week!
