How it works | Megs Veg

Box prices

Box prices will be decided when registration opens for the 2025 season in April 2024. Last year prices ranged from around £10-18 depending on the size of the box.

** Below are the terms and conditions of the 2023 season, these may be subject to change **

Delivery

We offer free delivery to those living in and around Aboyne, Tarland, Dinnet and Logie Coldstone, and on our delivery route between these locations. For those living down long tracks we may ask you if we can leave the box in a suitably sheltered place at the end of your track to avoid vehicle wear.

Washing vegetables

Please note that although we always try to ensure high standards of presentation, for environmental health purposes vegetables arrive to you 'unwashed', and you are responsible for the washing of your veg.

Payment

Boxes are invoiced at the beginning of the month before delivery. I will send invoices 2 weeks before the first box of the next month is due to be delivered. Invoices need to be paid within that 2 week advance. Please pay by BACS, details will be on the bottom of the invoice.

Holidays

Please give at least 48 hours notice if you need to cancel a week's box. If you take a holiday then that box will be deducted from the following month's invoice, by way of refund. Either way you won't be charged for boxes you don't receive but this avoids the bank charge on an additional transaction.

Cancellation

You can cancel your membership at any time and any outstanding credit will be refunded.

Opt-out

We are not able to offer opt-out for veg you’re less fond of or grow yourself, however we will send out regular emails with recipe suggestions to help you make the most of your box.

Packaging and advice on how to store your vegetables

Veg will be delivered in cardboard or blue plastic boxes. It is very important that you leave your box from the previous week out so that we can collect it. This ensures we have enough boxes to complete subsequent deliveries in the week. To minimize use of plastic we deliver leafy veg like chard and kale tied with a rubber band and ask that you leave out a tub of water on veg box delivery day for us to place leafy bunches in to keep them fresh until you get home. You can keep the leafy veg in the water tub on your kitchen counter but it will probably stay fresh for longer if you take it out and put it in to a sealed reusable plastic bag in your fridge.We often use paper bags to package our legumes and root veg. Unfortunately our salad will still be delivered in plastic bags as we haven’t found a good alternative as yet.
