8 best fruit and vegetable delivery boxes for 2025

Score: 96/100

Fresh from Daylesford’s organic Cotswolds farm, this veg box is filled with seasonal British produce. You’ll always receive five items, and our panel appreciated the unusual, top quality ingredients.

Items arrived in perfect condition, and come with a signed note from the person who packed the box. We’d have appreciated tips on how to cook some of the more unusual veg, such as the black radish or red Russian bunch, but confident cooks will love it.

Abel & Cole’s weekly plastic-free box contains six seasonal organic fruit and vegetables. Our panel enjoyed the variety, which included huge mushrooms, ripe oranges and beautiful romanesco broccoli, all of which arrived in superb condition.

Not a fan of tomatoes? You can add up to three fruits and seven veggies to your “dislike list”, and Abel & Cole will do its best to switch for a seasonal replacement instead.

What's more, for each box sold, Abel & Cole donates a portion of fresh fruit and veg to those in need via one of its charity partners (Felix Project, Dons Local Action Group and School Food Matters).

Our editor also tested (and loved!) the Clean Up The Dirty Dozen Box (£17) – a weekly changing collection of the most essential fruit and veg to eat organically, to avoid artificial pesticides getting into your diet.

We all know that fruit and veg tastes great, whatever its shape or size, but sadly three million tonnes of the stuff gets wasted each year — and that’s before it has even left the farm! This is largely due to not conforming to the industry’s 'beauty' standards.

This box rescues the wonky fruit and veg that would otherwise go to waste, and includes recipes on what to make with each item, explaining why it had been rejected by mainstream supermarkets.

Our testers thought the service was impeccable, with the box arriving in great condition. Highlights include a giant aubergine that made a veggie lasagne, and super-sweet kiwis. Overall, they thought this offered good value for money, although some would have liked more control over what they were receiving.

This box was filled with juicy fruit and crunchy veg that was bursting with flavour, tasted high quality and arrived in perfect condition.

Testers felt a lot of thought had gone into the boxes, which was reflected by the wide variety of fruit and veg on offer, with plenty of different options for those who enjoy cooking with fresh ingredients. Handily, you can also buy other produce from the site to have delivered with your veg box, including meat and dairy.

Testers were also impressed by both the packaging, which came complete with ice packs and wool padding, and the convenient delivery service.

If run of the mill vegetables aren’t cutting it for you, Fine Food Specialists aims to please with this ultra-luxe offering. Packed with unusual, quality veg, our produce arrived loose on a wooden crate and was a feast for the eyes.

We’d have preferred to see less plastic bubble wrap and more strategic packing to avoid squashing tomatoes under heavier items. However, overall, it was an exciting box to delve into.

Highlights included the cavolo nero, radishes, beetroots and Jerusalem artichokes. And even more “everyday” items such as carrots had their tops intact (perfect for making carrot top pesto!).

Granted the price tag is more than most, but if you’re a keen foodie, looking for exciting seasonal veg, we think you’ll be delighted.

Looking for a healthy get-well gift? M&S has replaced the traditional fruit basket with this generous box of goodies.

Highlights included bananas, grapefruit, apples and crisp, juicy pears. Some of our testers found their grapes were on the turn, however with over 2,800 five-star reviews online, we're confident that this was a one-off issue.

And although the box did not contain a leaflet, we appreciated the label detailing the fruits' origin and storage suggestions. A thoughtful alternative to flowers, for someone feeling under the weather.

If you love the thought of a farmer’s market haul, but prefer the convenience of an Amazon delivery, The Veg Box is worth checking out.

The family-run, Lancashire-based farm delivers seven days a week, and the small box will typically contain 13 items, perfect for one or two people. Testers were happy to report the veg was particularly flavoursome — especially the potatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, onions and carrots.

Riverford has recently switched to new sustainably sourced, home-compostable packaging, saving 21 tonnes of plastic each year. Most of the brand’s veg is popped straight into reusable delivery boxes “naked”, and for anything that does need protecting, they use home compostable packs.

In this box, you’ll always receive the basics — such as potatoes, carrots and onions — as well as more exciting seasonal items like mushrooms or rhubarb. Although testers felt this was a little overpriced for the quantity, they were very pleased with the quality of this organic fruit and veg.

The website is a great resource for using up unfamiliar vegetables, too. Once empty, leave your box out for your delivery driver to take away and reuse.
