What does the box contain?
There is no simple answer to that question because every week the Grüne Kiste contains different seasonal fruit and vegetable. Even we don’t know what the next box contains. However, a good indication is the season. For example in autumn you can find pumpkin in the box while in winter beetroot and different kinds of cabbage are delivered. In summer you likely find tomatoes and cucumbers. When you order, you can see what and how much will be in the box.
What advantages does the Grüne Kiste offer?
The good thing is that the box gives you an opportunity to be creative while cooking. You have the chance to learn about new vegetables that you maybe didn’t know before. The vegetables and fruit are always fresh from the fields. This way it becomes very easy to eat sustainable, healthy, and delicious food.
Can I order the box for several weeks in a row?
This is even the usual case! When you give no further info, the box is ordered weekly (with exception of days when the Weidenhof stall is closed). Of course you can cancel anytime or just place a one-off order. Even longer breaks between each order are possible so you can customize your box according to your needs.
How much is in the box?
Before each order you can see what exactly and how much of everything is in the box. You can also modify this online (This is possible from Friday afternoon for the following week).
