Lil & East Lothian Roots & Fruits
Lil is delighted to be extending our collaboration with East Lothian Roots & Fruits.
We love this fellow East Lothian social enterprise. We already have stock in the shop in Elphinstone that locals can pick up when they pop in for their essentials or a cuppa.
Roots & Fruits customers can now order Lil's plastic free organic and non-organic foods, low impact toiletries and household products to be delivered to your door with your Roots & Fruits veg box across East Lothian. Your Lil food will arrive with your Roots & Fruits delivery in food grade recycled paper bags and your refills of detergents etc in recycled bottles.
Just order online by 12 noon on Monday at www.dolilthings.org/shop and choose 'East Lothian Roots & Fruits' as your shipping method. We will prepare your order and deliver to them to go out with your usual box delivery on Thursday or Friday.
