Re: Oranges direct from the farmer.
i think bb did that.
i looked into it but we eat rather more oranges than could be sent per month - it would work out too expensive for us.

Re: Oranges direct from the farmer.
I looked at that but I have the reverse problem I would never use a box, even if I started juicing them again,
Also, I'm very resistant to signing up to any more subscription services, it just becomes a project management issue

Re: Oranges direct from the farmer.
Yes I have used them. It was mainly pre brexit and worked out very good value for us, we got both oranges and clementines.
I have only had one box post brexit which took rather a long time to arrive and as the fruit is organic it was a bit past it’s best. However, I believe that they have sorted the transport issues.
Cost wise it works out about the same as supermarket/ greengrocers at 50p ish an orange, for a largish navel orange. You can buy smaller boxes, or my sister and parents used to split a box. A full sized box was ok for us. Was good for us as a trip to the supermarket is a thirty mile round trip.
Really ought to get back into the habit of using them again.

Edited to add, I didn’t use it as a subscription service, just ordered a box when we needed one.
