‘Welcome to Abel & Cole – Organic vegetable boxes, fruit, meat & more. The best organic food delivered to your door’

Well, yes. Today was my first delivery from any company of this kind, I have had groceries from various supermarkets in the past. This feels different. For a start they one gave me one plastic bag with a note to return it. Love you. A box I could fold down and return so it can be used again. You beauties.
 So I open the box, with a little trepidation if I am totally honest. I want this to be good, I want this to be exciting. Who ever thought open a box of vegetables & fruit would be so exciting?
Anyway, to the content of the box. I know you are hanging on every word just to find out…
  • 9 Brown Mushrooms
  • 4 Oval Tomatoes
  • 1 Cos Lettuce
  • 5 Peaches
  • 5 Nectarines
  • 6 FairTrade Bananas
  • 3 Courgettes
  • 7 stem Celery bunch
  • 7 Agata Potatoes
  • 3 Sweet Potatoes
  • 9 Carrots
  • 5 Onions

That is a fairly big box of goodies!

Here are some pictures, the quality is just beautiful.

This was in the box, an amazing book worth a whopping £12.99

A little guide. I love when companies take the time to do this.

The whole box was £25, as a tester for us I am so happy with the quality of the produce in side, I am more than happy with the recylable packaging.

I want my vegetables to be oddly shaped, I want that dirt smell on my potatoes, I want the non perfect things. I grow a small amount of veg & herbs, none of them are perfect because they aren’t mass produced to fit supermaket standards. It is a true joy.

All in all I am delighted. As such I’m not sure I will be ordering anywhere else in a hurry.

Thank you Able & Cole.  One very happy family.

Disclaimer – I have NOT recieved this in order to review I am just so happy with it I wanted to share.

Note from Eldest – As the resident Banana expert ‘These Beenarnars are so awesome I want to eat them forever.’

Yum.
