This London-based firm offers 15 types of boxes, with various combinations of fruit, vegetables and salads. These range in price from £6. 50 for a farmers’ choice vegetable bag, to £23 for a large mixed box of fruit and vegetables… To get an idea of the size of a “small” box, it’s about the same length and breadth as this newspaper and about six inches deep.
