Riverford

Proper farmers with mud on our boots, we’ve been growing organic produce for over 35 years. Unashamedly nerdy about veg, we always choose the tastiest varieties – and never spray your food with artificial nasties. Caring for the soil and wildlife on our land, as well as the other growers and makers in our community, is at the heart of everything we do.

Ethical organic veg. Delivered.

Our mission is to provide you with the best of the season. Spuds like your grandad used to grow, the crunchiest cauliflower, and the carrotiest carrots, all delivered to your doorstep by our own local teams, with minimal fuss and unbeatable quality. And better yet, it’s all 100% organic.

Amazing veg, positive impact

Brilliant veg has the power to shape a better world – through what we grow, how we grow it, how it inspires you in the kitchen, and the joy it brings to your plate. With the support of customers, in the past year we’ve saved 21 tonnes of plastic, donated over 1 million portions of veg to charity, planted over 1,500 native trees, and raised £164,744 for our charity partner Ripple Effect. And there’s still so much more to come.

More than ever, we want to inspire people to cook with amazing veg that makes a positive impact. Find out more about Riverford and what we stand for…

Greener veg, with no greenwash

Wouldn’t it be great if we let the seasons tell us what’s on the menu? Do we really need all this plastic? Could the way we eat protect the planet? These are the sorts of questions we’ve been asking at Riverford for over 35 years. We love asking questions, because questions lead to change. Here are just some of the things we do differently…

• 100% organic. We believe organic is the best show in town – for the environment, for our farmland, for animals, and for us. Everything we grow, make and sell is 100% organic.
• Employee owned. Since 2018, Riverford is an employee-owned business. That means we’re free to make sure everyone is treated right – from the bees in our fields, to your local delivery team.
• We never air freight. And across the year, about 70% of our veg is UK-grown. Find out more about how we’re making Riverford sustainable.
• Fair to farmers, fair to customers. We work with our small-scale growers and makers for the long term, agreeing good prices well in advance and always sticking to our word. And there are no discounts for new customers; instead, a fair deal for all.
