We have been using this service for some months as we wanted to have fresh organic produce for our baby. We have been constantly impressed by the freshness and flavour of the vegetables, and the ease of swapping items. Sarah and her dad are very cheerful on delivery and we also like Sarah's original receipe ideas.

After trying several box schemes I stumbled across this totally refreshing personable service. Sarah herself delivers guaranteed 2-days picked fresh fruit, veg and also quality meat and other goodies from organic, free-range farms which are just a stones throw away from where her customers live. She apologised to me yesterday for scouring East Anglia for chicken she would be happy to provide because it comes from Norfolk and not Bedfordshire!! This is local food at it's best, exactly what it says on the box.

Galahad1. Just the best, friendly and helpful service from Sarah. Vegetables are so fresh they could have been picked from the garden and delivered along with tips for cooking and recipes. Good to know they are all locally grown which is good for the environment.

The joy of eating freshly picked vegetables after lack lustre prepackaged apologies for the real thing! Delivered to the door by Sarah, whose enthusiasm for her chosen career shines through as she introduces us to more and more new recipes, fruit and veg. We are eating so well now we can't understand why we did'nt investigate this service earlier. May Sarah go from strength to strength. P.P.Aspley Guise

A God-send of a lady and a company! Long may they continue! We have been customers since Sarah started and are still as keen now as we were then. The produce is always top quality as is the service - Sarah is SO nice, always has time for a chat and is full of wonderful tips for the veg. and fruit. The new online service is BRILLIANT and appears completely foolproof, even to a computer-phobe like me. Sarah obviously checks everything as last week I accidentally ordered 14kg. of new potatoes which she changed to my normal amount without bothering me.

We have been customers since this time last year and have been delighted with the very high quality of the obviously fresh vegatables and also the meat received, all from local producers. Sarah is a joy, so friendly and willing to oblige and it seems that nothing is too much trouble. Long may the family concern and local farmers prosper.

Excellent quality vegetables, exceptional service, so glad I happened to read an article Sarah wrote in the local paper about her passion for local grown vegetables, I look forward to my box each week. Strawerries to die for!

LOCALS BEST Hippocrates said “Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food.” Research to date into nutrition would appear to support this theory. We are so grateful to Local’s Best and their helpful advice which comes with each weekly box to ensue that the produce is cooked healthily, and enjoyed to the full.. They are our heroes who grow, harvest and distribute their lovely organic fare so important to our well-being. The administration is no mean feat either. We therefore nominate wholeheartdly ‘Local’s Best’ for the Local Food Hero Award Evelyn Goodger.

I have been using Locals Best since October and the quality is great. I have tried some veg that I hve never had before. The website has recently changed and it is now dead easy to change the contents of your veg box and add more items.

It is just so lovely to have fresh veg delivered without loads of packaging and to feel we are supporting local farmers and if not, at least British Farming. We have also tried veg that just does not appear in the supermarkets and is delicious. review this place now
