VEG OUT

Fresh fruit and veg box suppliers are popping up all over the county. With such rich pickings this time of year it’s a welcome treat to be able to eat seasonally and support local growers. A few of our favourites here…

Secretts Milford

This drive through veg box service has a pick-up point at the farm shop where you can pay contactless and pick up your box. Do check before you turn up though as it is subject to stock deliveries. secretts.co.uk

Dorking Deli

Fully packed and flying out the shop, call to order for local delivery at £20 a box. This friendly deli will also provide bread flour and meat from The Dorking Butchery on request. Call 01306 743203 to order yours.

Fetch’em From the Cupboard

As well as fresh fruit and veg you can also order an online selection of grocery items from this popular independent shop who search out the best available wholefoods, treats and sustainable alternative products from ethically led companies.
