Translating into mindful meals

Cooking has become more joyful since subscribing?simple meals, colorful produce, and unexpected seasonal veg. The farm?s commitment (like carbon-neutral operations) is impressive. Ordering interface is easy, and weekly swaps make the box yours. Delivery has been consistently punctual and courteous. Occasionally a wilted herb appears, but that?s human and forgivable. Overall, a thoughtful service that nudges me toward healthier home cooking and supports local agriculture.

Farm-fresh difference is clear

The Groobox experience feels personal?from the moment I unpack it and smell the earth, it?s clear this isn?t supermarket fare. The farm grows over 50 crops year-round, and that variety shows: week after week, interesting, seasonal produce arrives that?s both flavorful and just the right ripeness. Swapping items means I'm not stuck with something I won?t use. Delivery is reliable, packaging simple and eco-aware. Once had a slightly bruised apple?no biggie. The included recipe cards elevate ordinary ingredients into memorable meals. Supporting local also feels meaningful. This box brings freshness, flavor and farm soul straight to my kitchen.

Healthy habit maker

Weekly delivery helped me eat better. Confidence in quality is high, though once kale had minor browning. All other items stayed fresh through the week. Small adjustments would perfect this thoughtful service.

Brightens cooking habit

The fresh box nudges me to cook more and waste less. Veg feel alive, recipes guide creativity, and delivery lets me plan meals. Only small note: friendly driver conversation cut short once. Still, quality is superb.

Smart, local, fresh

Service is smooth?website intuitive, payment clear, delivery friendly. Produce is mostly great; once had a soft strawberry but it was rare. Appreciating how easy it is to support local farmers via this.


img 5/5.0 04, Jul 2025

Simply great produce

Beetroots with leaf intact, apples that snap?this is produce at its peak. Delivery is prompt, swapping is handy, recipes spark new meal ideas. Packaging compostable too. Big fan.


img 4/5.0 23, Jun 2025

Trustworthy and flavorful

After many orders, freshness stays reliable. Seasonal veg taste distinct and lively. Minor delivery delays happened twice, but notice was given early. Customer care is approachable. Overall trustworthy service.


img 5/5.0 10, Jun 2025

Local farming at its best

Knowing produce comes from Cheshire farms makes meals feel connected. Veg quality is excellent?flavours are vivid, textures crisp. Recipe suggestions encourage trying unfamiliar veg. Delivery runs like clockwork. Just wish egg cartons had sturdier lids.

A lovely weekly ritual

Getting the box is a small treat each week. Quality is generally great, recipes delightful, and local sourcing comforting. One week a pepper was mushy, but support credited me quickly. Service feels human and grounded.


img 5/5.0 06, May 2025

Consistent delight

For months, every delivery has impressed?from vivid beetroot to crisp apples. The farm-fresh difference is real; supermarket produce feels dull by comparison. Swapping unwanted items is helpful, and delivery always punctual. Packaging is minimal yet protective. A standout service for anyone wanting fresher, local food.

Inspires healthy cooking

This box turned weekday meals into creative sessions. Seasonal items encourage experimentation, and swapping options lets me avoid unwanted produce. Delivery drivers are friendly, and free delivery is a bonus. Some stems were dusty, but washing was easy. Overall a smart and tasty way to eat local.

Freshness shining through

The moment I opened the box, the vibrant greens and firm roots spoke volumes about quality. The farm grows over 50 crops year-round, and it shows?every bite tastes alive. Recipes make trying new veg fun. Delivery was timely and the driver even asked how the box fit through the gate (charming touch!). Minor hiccup: one squash had a tiny blemish, but that?s natural. Overall, a wonderful, flavourful and mindful food experience.


img 2/5.0 29, Mar 2025

Two items unedible this week

One bell pepper and one apple were ruined. Wasteful week.


img 3/5.0 08, Mar 2025

Flavor great, prep needed

Veg are tasty, but prep defects?dirty bits or wilt?require extra clean.


img 1/5.0 11, Feb 2025

Lettuce was slimy

Lettuce felt slimy?had to trash it. Not happy.


img 2/5.0 27, Jan 2025

Mixed quality box

Carrots crisp; broccoli soggy. Mixed bag of quality.


img 3/5.0 05, Jan 2025

Variety good, one item bad

Love mix of vegetables, but one soft pear dampened mood. Otherwise okay.


img 1/5.0 21, Dec 2024

Potatoes had green spots

Some spuds had green patches?should?ve been removed. Can?t risk that.


img 2/5.0 29, Nov 2024

Herbs wilted on arrival

Herbs were limp by midday?possibly due to late drop-off. Needs better timing.


img 3/5.0 03, Nov 2024

Veg tasty but some squashed

Delicious flavours, but two tomatoes were squashed. Packaging could be sturdier.


img 1/5.0 12, Oct 2024

Mold spotted on berries

Berries arrived with mould?no thanks. That?s a health risk. Hope next time better.


img 2/5.0 04, Sep 2024

Several items felt past prime

Box had limp lettuce and bruised apples. Not always the freshest. Support response was polite but slow. Needs sharper quality check.


img 2/5.0 18, Aug 2024

Recipes nice, produce not so much

Recipe cards are lovely and uplifting?Beetroot brownies sounded fun?but the beetroots themselves were cracked and soft. Mixed feelings: concept is thoughtful but execution fell short. Farm-to-table is great idea; hope freshness improves consistently.


img 3/5.0 26, Jul 2024

Good flavour but check each item

Veg tasted fantastic, especially carrots and apples, but had to inspect and discard two wilted sprouts and a soft pear. That?s extra hassle. Customer stories mention same-day harvesting, so disappointing to see such failures occasionally. Still okay for now, but vigilance required.


img 1/5.0 01, Jul 2024

Very inconsistent and delayed replies

Ordered a Veg & Fruit box?fruits were sour, some veg mushy. Reached out, support replied after three days with a generic ?sorry.? Didn?t offer replacement. Without timely response or quality assurance, can?t justify repeat. Farm location is great, but service needs work.


img 2/5.0 08, Jun 2024

Delivery issues impacted freshness

Veg looked great in pickup photos, but delivery arrived late and several items were limp by the next morning?lettuce and herbs especially. Warm transit likely was problem. Customer support acknowledged it but couldn?t fix on short notice. I want to love it, but timing matters when produce is delicate.


img 3/5.0 19, May 2024

Tasty but packaging worries

Produce was delicious, especially the celeriac and chard, but packaging was too thin?items had shifted and one tomato was squashed. Felt like the delivery process might need review. Love the local farm concept, but hurts when usable food gets bruised.


img 5/5.0 11, May 2024

Worth every penny

Price feels fair for what?s delivered: fresh, seasonal veg that tastes alive, delivered from Cheshire fields. Variety sparks creativity. Delivery is punctual, swaps convenient, packaging minimal and eco-friendly. One week had two tiny bruises, but flavor was perfect. Has elevated weekly cooking significantly.


img 1/5.0 27, Apr 2024

Too many spoiled items this time

Opening the box revealed limp lettuce, lumpy potatoes, and a cracked egg (despite eggs being protective). Disappointing for a supposedly farm-fresh service. I emailed support but got no update after days. Overall it feels like quality care has slipped. Had to throw away a third of the box. Hoping this was a one-off, but can't rely on it now.


img 3/5.0 02, Apr 2024

Hit-and-miss experience

Sometimes the veg is outstanding?zesty, firm, flavorful?but other weeks mushrooms arrive wilted and one broccoli head was past its prime. The freshness seems unreliable. Still enjoy the variety and local sourcing, and customer service is friendly in tone, though not lightning fast. Would continue only with more consistency.


img 2/5.0 15, Mar 2024

Not consistently fresh

Started well?bright tomatoes, crisp salad leaves?then one week roots looked aged and one pepper was squishy. Too much gap between farm and kitchen. Recipes are great but don?t make up for inconsistent produce. Delivery was on schedule, but quality variation is too frequent for a subscription box that?s meant to feel premium.


img 1/5.0 21, Feb 2024

Found mould on several items

A recent box included strawberries with visible mould and a bruised pear. That?s worrying safety-wise. Packaging seemed fine, so likely poor quality control at harvest. I reached out via email but haven?t heard back after two days. Sadly this undercut earlier good experiences of crisp greens and helpful recipes. I?d love to reorder, but need assurance that produce is genuinely checked before leaving the farm.


img 5/5.0 05, Feb 2024

Genuine connection to food

There's joy in unpacking a box that still smells of the field. Everything tastes vivid and seasonal. Swapping items lets me avoid waste. Website and delivery details are clear. Packaging is recyclable. One time a beetroot split, but that?s fine. The whole experience feels thoughtful and grounded in real farming.


img 2/5.0 09, Jan 2024

Some items were overly soft

Aiming for fresher veggies, I picked Groobox but was let down when several of the root veg arrived too soft. For example, one carrot was mushy and two potatoes had spots?even the leafy greens were limp. Customer service was polite but slow to reply, and suggested a partial refund, which hasn?t arrived yet. Positive points: produce variety and farm ethos are nice, but delivery felt spotty this time. If consistency improves, it could win me back?but right now, freshness doesn't match the promise.


img 5/5.0 14, Dec 2023

Encourages cooking creativity

The varied vegetables inspire new meals. Cooking feels playful. Swapping out items is handy, and delivery is friendly. It?s a little reminder that good food starts at the farm.


img 4/5.0 23, Nov 2023

Really tasty?and local

Taste feels genuine, not like supermarket produce. Local freshness is apparent. The box feels wholesome, though a potato once had a tiny blemish. Still, the overall vibe is great.


img 5/5.0 05, Nov 2023

Uplifts weekly meals

The box livens up weeknight dinners with fresh, tasty veg. Delivery is prompt and boxes are full. A minor slip-up happened once with a wilted herb, but customer care fixed it quickly.

Healthy habit, smooth support

Since subscribing I've cooked more and wasted less. Most produce is crisp and flavorful. Once a delivery went to wrong address but team corrected fast. Overall efficient, with a human touch and reliable quality.


img 4/5.0 11, Oct 2023

Solid seasonal selection

Love the rotating seasonal picks?it's like a small farm surprise each week. Most items are great, though one peach was a bit bruised. The recipe card was a thoughtful extra.


img 5/5.0 28, Sep 2023

Charming and fresh

The delivery always impresses?bright salad leaves, perfect apples, even tangy lemons. Swapping items is so convenient. The packaging is simple and eco-friendly, and the farm story adds a lovely human touch.


img 5/5.0 19, Sep 2023

A delightful weekly surprise

Each box feels like receiving the farm's best picks. Sweet young carrots, firm apples, curious root crops?I look forward to discovering new ingredients. Recipes help if I wasn?t sure how to cook something. Delivery is friendly, packaging minimal. Only minor gripe: subscription pause button hidden slightly. Still, experience is stellar.


img 4/5.0 16, Aug 2023

Reliable and friendly

Service runs smoothly and consistently, with clear communications and dependable timing. Quality is solid, though once had a slightly limp carrot. Still, overall freshness stays high. Would order again.


img 4/5.0 07, Aug 2023

Brightens daily meals

Having Groobox around changed cooking. I now plan dinners around what arrives, not supermarket habit. Produce tastes fresher, lasts longer. Interface, swaps, emails, customer care?all seamless. Sometimes smaller sizes than expected, but that's natural. An excellent service to elevate daily eating.


img 5/5.0 03, Jul 2023

Convenient healthy boost

Getting a box feels like a mini health upgrade. Seasonal produce encourages trying new recipes, and knowing it's farm-grown in Cheshire adds a comforting local touch. Makes eating better feel effortless.

A weekly veggie treat

Each week brings a pleasant surprise?bright veggies, often harvested same day, bursting with flavour. The farm?s dedication shines through. Occasionally something?s slightly off in size or ripeness, but that?s part of the charm.


img 5/5.0 12, Jun 2023

Real produce, genuine care

This box feels lovingly assembled. Veg is nutritious looking, vibrant, and flavorful. The farm's year-round harvest means I discover new items frequently. Recipes are easy and inspiring. Delivery lanes through Cheshire are covered efficiently, and the free delivery is appreciated. A rare soft strawberry arrived once?but I accepted it. All else stays impressive. Feels like a local farm sending its best directly home.


img 4/5.0 30, May 2023

Good with small room for tweaks

There?s so much to like?diverse seasonal mix, local sourcing, fun recipes. Website is user-friendly. However, once delivery was an hour late without alert, and some leafy greens were slightly wilted. Support apologized promptly and offered a small credit, which was appreciated. Service feels transparent, quality is strong, and improvements continue to show.


img 5/5.0 12, May 2023

Thoughtful delivery choice

Choosing delivery day was a breeze, and the driver kindly left the box safe at my door. The variety of vegetables is impressive?local, seasonal, and flavorful. Swapping items gave me control, and the box truly felt tailored.


img 5/5.0 22, Apr 2023

Never grocery store quality

Tired of supermarket wilt and blandness, I turned to Groobox?and it delivered. Literal contrast: a carrot from this box snaps, supermarket ones flop. Farm-fresh matters. Vegetables arrive vibrant and often still cool from harvest. Recipe suggestions turn simple roots into dinner adventures?like roasted cabbage tacos. Delivery is timed well, drivers are polite, and packaging minimal. Last week had two oddly shaped parsnips?endearing, not concerning. This is quality that delights every time.


img 4/5.0 07, Apr 2023

Fresh, local goodness

The produce arrives vivid and crisp, clearly still bursting with freshness from the Cheshire fields. Recipes included are a clever bonus that make cooking feel fun rather than chore. Delivery was smooth, friendly, and reliable?great value for what?s delivered.
