sun, sea, sand + a vegbox Living with a box is pretty f lexible, whatever you’re up to this summer.

Cooking less? Swap to a lighter box or just make up your own order from our full range of weekly essentials.

Going on holiday? Treat your vegbox to a change of scenery too - we deliver all around the UK. Or if you prefer, pause your order online and we’ll be ready when you get back.

Growing your own? Bypass a vegbox altogether and top up your harvest from our full range of fruit, milk, eggs and more.

We’re looking forward to a summer full of great British produce. It’s all seasonal so there might be a short wait for some things to become available.
