It's good to see a breakdown of the different aspects associated with a box scheme: delivery, produce, variety etc. I was also asked to sample the Abel and Cole box (http://www.happyfood.org.uk/post/Abel-and-Cole-Goodies.aspx) something that we wouldn't normally have as I use my local farm shop; but I do agree that even though the box we had included a variety of Lou (aka Happy Food)http://www.happyfood.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050006764277577236.post-37174425750149153572009-08-09T16:35:31.075+01:002009-08-09T16:35:31.075+01:00Sounds like a good idea but I do agree that I woul...Sounds like a good idea but I do agree that I would wind up shopping anyway!

Some of it got thrown out (which i so hate to do).<br />p.s. still working on the macaroons, but haven't tried filling them yet because I would have only had about 3 cookies.

You simply stated your honest opinion, which is really valued by many. I also love the fact that you highlighted seasonality, variety, quantity and labelling, something that a reputable organisation like A&C should be on the mark about, esp as Shaheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602971207085826708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050006764277577236.post-30391238913200030812009-07-24T16:50:54.980+01:002009-07-24T16:50:54.980+01:00Great post and I love how you've found a lot t...Great post and I love how you've found a lot to talk about that's relevant, interesting and not previously covered by others among us.Kaveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662875905365870280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050006764277577236.post-47005814088494953802009-07-24T13:02:08.895+01:002009-07-24T13:02:08.895+01:00Really good slant on this.
