"If A Bug Won't Bite It, Why Should You?"

Order Your Christmas Fruit & Veg From Greens Of Minster

Why not join the hundreds of people who trust us each year to supply them with their yummy local, organic fruit & veg. We are a little different than most other greengroces who only offer a standardized veg box for all. With Greens of Minster you can have exactly what you want and in the exact quantities you want. With us you probably get more local and organic produce than anywhere else AND at a price cheaper than most. Take a look:-

Local organic ‘Christmas dinner’ produce could include:- parsnips, potatoes, carrots, leeks, swede, brussel sprouts, purple sprouting broccoli, onions, savoy cabbage, pointy cabbage, red cabbage, brussel tops, brussel stalk, broccoli, black cabbage, cauliflower, curly kale, apples, pears and more …

And what about prices (at time of writing taken from their website) compared with the top national organic veg box provider … Riverford:

  • Black Cabbage (x2) GREENS £1.20 RIVERFORD £2.95 (saving £1.75)

  • Apples (1kg) GREENS £1.79 RIVERFORD £4.47 (saving £2.68)

  • Broccoli (1kg) GREENS £2.29 RIVERFORD £5.30 (saving £3.01)

  • Curly Kale (1kg) GREENS £2.99 RIVERFORD £8.40 (saving £5.41)

  • Brussel Sprouts (1kg) GREENS £1.49 RIVERFORD £4.40 (saving £2.91)

  • Pears (1kg) GREENS £2.29 RIVERFORD £4.47 (saving £2.18)

  • Parsnips (1kg) GREENS £1.99 RIVERFORD £3.15 (saving £1.16)

  • Leeks (1kg) GREENS £2.19 RIVERFORD £4.33 (saving £2.14)

    So if the above were to be the contents of a VERY large veg box it would cost:

  • GREENS £20.41

  • RIVERFORD £43.90 !!!

So shopping with Greens would, in this example, save you a whopping £23.49 (yes … shopping with Riverford would cost you over double for the same produce!) and of course our produce is super local being grown only a few miles away in Plucks Gutter and Sandwich, more environmentally friendly and fresher (sometimes being harvested a couple of hours before delivery!)

NB. Just a thought … if you were to be having a weekly veg box throughout the year as above, you would save a WHOPPING £1,221.48 a year !!!!! That equates to a FREE HOLIDAY!

So … if you would like to ‘give us a go’ this Christmas … here’s what to do:

1/ You need to choose what you want by filling out one of our forms. These are available in-store.

2/ Fill out the form by indicating alongside each item you want the quantity you would like either by piece (each) or by weight (kg or g). If there is number in brackets it indicated the approx. number per weight (ie. Carrots Kilo (9) means there are appx. 9 carrots to a kg) Don’t worry in getting it exactly right as we check it through with you when you hand it in!

3/ Once you have added everyting you want, if there are any items you want which aren’t listed (a dragon fruit for example) then just write this in on the form in the blank box.

4/ There is a front page where you need to write:

  • Your name

  • Your phone number

  • The date you want to collect you veg box (most people go for either the day before Xmas Eve or Xmas Eve morning) but any day is fine.

5/ When you hand the form into us we will double check the form with you and take a small deposit.

Easy …. and all there is left to do is pop into us on the day, collect your veg box and pay the balance.

All Done!
