Description
Delivered by hand straight from the land, farmaround aims to bring customers the very best seasonal organic food at affordable prices. Farmaround is a weekly home delivery service of organic produce covering North Yorkshire and the North East of England. Once you have placed an order they will deliver to you automatically each week or at your desired frequency. The contents of their bags vary each week and according to the season. They endeavour to make the selections interesting without being obscure. Farmaround uses produce that is as local as possible but they often also look further afield to bring customers a wider variety of produce. You can check ‘This Week' on their website to see the likely contents of the bag each week.

Farmaround brings back everything that is good about food that I grew up with - good tasting proper vege, delicious milk, fabulous selection of tasty treats - the blueberry filled cookies are not to be missed! All round fabulous!

Farmaround isn't a "box scheme", for a start it's a "bag" (much more ecological than a box) and it isn't a scheme it's a "choice" but i suppose a "Bag choice" doesn't have quite the same ring to it. it isn't seeking "Queens awards" which are simply a marketing gimmick and it isn;t part of a "Tescoesque" franchise either, it is a wholesome, down to earth, good value, genuine company of wholesome principles.

As a recent convert to organic produce I can say that this company's food and service is excellent. The variety and seasonality of the fruit and veg makes my family eat more healthily and enjoy cooking each day. The recent mag on ethical food along with the newsletter is a joy. Isobel should publish these in a book. I enjoy the weekly recipe and suggestions.

i love farmaround, besides the excellent food and service, isobel has endeared me to the firm with her delightful newsletters detailing tales of sheep rescues, naughty lambs and her panic attacks whenever a journalist rings up for an interview.

I have been getting deliveries from farmaround for 12 years now and find them to combine good value good quality with an ethically run organisiation.

The vegetable sack that comes each week is always varied. The produce is top notch and if ever there is a blip service is quick and a refund promt. The newsletter adds a personal touch and is appreciated. the driver is friendly and always gets through whatever the weather and sometimes he works quite late on to make sure all his deliveries are completed. A great way to shop for your veg.

The fruit, vegetables and groceries Farmaround offer are of top quality. The produce comes from as local sources as possible and is extremely fresh and tasty. The company works in partnership with farmers that grow vegetables and fruit which give brilliant taste rather than big yields (custumers themselves are given opportunity to suggest what vegetables should be grown). Once you've tried their produce, you'll be hooked for life! Farmaround's custumers recieve weekly newsletters, written by the company's founder Isobel, that are very personal and that contain recipes and ideas about how to use the week's produce. Farmaround cares about many environmental and ethical issues, which on top of the delicious fruit and vegetables they supply, makes it a No 1 company for me!

Used them for 10 years - never let me down. Friendly, efficient service, highest quality produce and refund you immediately if something is damaged or less good. Isobel's communications are lovely!

Recently started getting fruit and veg on recommendation of a friend and love it ! Fantastic variety of produce and great that you can change and modify orders on line or by phone. Also love the fact that the bag contents are online each week. Highly recommended.

My box from Farmaround is like a weekly treasure trove. It has transformed my shopping experience from a tiresome bore to something exciting and meaningful. The quality and range of produce is consistently excellent. I read their newsletters cover to cover, they make me feel like part of a community and I feel proud to be able to put my money where my mouth is by supporting this local organic producer. review this place now
