You get loads of fun stuff on a veg box scheme that you wouldn't find in a supermarket. This week... red russian kale, wild garlic, candy beetroot, crown prince squash, pak choi and kumquats 💚😍💚🥕💚

Plus, in GC's veg boxes, everything is organic and the farmers are fairly paid for growing it 💚👩‍🌾💚😀💚
