Easting Seasonally Easily

Its been vogue for a while now. Any restaurant worth it's salt serves only seasonal food. However it can be hard to do this at home, you got to the supermarket and you can get anything! We trundle around on autopilot and fill our baskets with what ever we want. Which is not the worst thing in the world, I'm not that far gone to the hippy side.

Of course we will never get seasonal bananas, and these are among other things we love which do not grow in our country. However, if the majority of what we buy is seasonal and local, then we are doing a good thing for the Planet and our health.

There are plenty of company's out there who deliver Vegetable and Fruit Boxes to your door which contain seasonal goods, which are organic, as local as possible, and the bananas (not local!) are fair trade. It is an excellent way of shopping easily and seasonally and you don't have to leave the house.

I use Able & Cole, I think they are really good. Riverford has also been recommended to me. Have a look and see if there is anyone locally who offers this service. It really is a good way of living, and eating organic cheaply!
