I looked into this in my area.  But the state of local/organic
produce in the UK is shambolic.  The only box scheme I could find in
my area (after hours of googling) had a crappy old website run from a
hotmail account.  And they didn't even reply to the e-mail I sent
asking if they would do a box with no potatoes.

This is actually typical of all British food websites.  I wish they'd
get their act together.  (For example why is it harder to get organic
honey made an hour's drive away than it is to get imported honey from
New Zealand??)
