Affordable ways to get your weekly organic food...Are you fed up with over-packaged, over-priced,
over-travelled,
chemically-contaminated vegetables in supermarkets? Are you looking for a wide range of fresh, locally-grown organic
vegetables, salads and herbs delivered to your door? If so, then a Goosemoor vegebox might just be the answer.... What's in a VegeBox? VegeBoxes contain at least 5 different veg (more in summer) at a fixed
price: £3 with 2-5kg produce, £5 containing 3-7kg, or £10 containing 5-11kg. The deal is essentially that you get organic produce in small quantities at affordable prices, as long as you have what you're given (although we can take into account your particular dislikes or dietary needs).
The contents of the boxes vary according to season, but for example in
September we have a selection from:

Decide what size VegeBox and Fruit Box you need. Take a look at recent box contents to help you decide
If there are particular items that you do not want in your fruit or vegebox, you can specify them each time you order. For example if you ask for a special £5 vegebox with no potatoes, we will replace the potatoes with another item of similar value. (If the item you excluded was not included anyway then we will send you a standard box.)
If you prefer to choose your own fruit and veg rather than having a vegebox, you can order exactly what you want from our weekly 'Pick of the Crop' price list
Our main grocery lines include dried goods, eggs, milk, cheese, and juices.
There is no commitment to have an order every week - but if you prefer you can have a regular order each week - but please remember to tell us when you go on holiday!
Vegebox orders for delivery to your address can be placed on-line, left on our 24 hour answering machine (01423 358887), during office hours on 08458 697 897, or by email. We need your order by 8am two working days prior to delivery.
Vegebox orders for delivery to a coordinator should be placed with the coordinator, giving them enough time to get their order to us 2 working days before delivery.
'Pick of the Crop' orders should be emailed back to us on the 'Pick of the Crop' order form. Sorry but we don't take 'Pick of the Crop' orders over the phone
If you live locally, our minimum order is only £8 for free delivery. Local villages include Bickerton, Bilton-in-Ainsty, Boston Spa, Cattal, Cowthorpe, Hunsingore, Kirk Hammerton, Long Marston, Rufforth & Tockwith.
Elsewhere, if your fruit & veg order is £15 or more, and you are within our delivery area (broadly-speaking Yorkshire), we will deliver direct to your address.
We charge extra (£3 or £5) for delivery to areas more than 15 miles away or not on an existing delivery run. Free delivery areas include Harrogate, Leeds & York. If there is a delivery charge we will tell you when you order.
If you order via our network of coordinators you can order as little as half a dozen eggs - the coordinator will include your order with their own for you to collect from their premises (and some coordinators do offer home-delivery for an extra charge).
Contact us to find out your nearest coordinator. You should both order and pay via your coordinator rather than direct with us, so that your coordinator knows exactly what is going to be delivered. Coordinators may ask for your payment in advance, as we expect them to pay us on delivery.
We welcome new groups within our existing delivery area. Follow the link if you would like to become a coordinator.
We deliver on the same day each week. Generally we need your order 2 days prior to the day of delivery:
| DELIVERY DAY | AREA COVERED | ORDER BY: |
| Wednesday | Bradford,
Harrogate, Huddersfield, Ripon, Sheffield |
Monday 8am |
| Thursday | Leeds,
Selby, Tadcaster, Wetherby, York, local villages |
Tuesday 8am |
Please check with us before placing your first order, as our delivery vans are generally fairly full.
Just tell us a safe and weatherproof place to leave your produce. We are happy to hold keys to porches, garages etc (we label them with a code rather than your address for security purposes).
Payment is due on delivery, and our drivers accept cash, or cheques payable to Goosemoor Organics
If you are not in, you can either leave a cheque for the driver to collect or post one to us following delivery. We don't recommend that you leave cash for us to collect, but if you do, then the driver will acknowledge the amount received on your invoice.
Alternatively, you can pay by BACS either over the phone to your bank, or using your bank's internet service. Our account details are:
Sortcode 089072
Account 50123623
If you want to pay by credit or debit card, you can do so securely using Nochex or Paypal over the internet (no account is necessary with either, but if not then you do need a credit or debit card). Payments can be made from our website, or via the Paypal or Nochex website to vegebox@goosemoor.info
(We don't currently take card payments by phone)
We produce several newsletters throughout the year for distribution to
all customers, and others periodically just for coordinators.
We frequently include recipes, and welcome favourites sent in by customers.
All items are unconditionally guaranteed, and we'll refund or replace anything found unsatisfactory without question. Please tell us if you have any difficulties at all!
