Proper farmers with mud on our boots, we’ve been growing organic produce for over 30 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.

What is an ethical vegetable? We believe organic is the best show in town – for the environment, for our farms, for animals, and for us. That’s why everything we grow, make and sell is 100% organic.
But what happens between the farm gates and your plate is largely beyond the reach of organic certification. Are organic blueberries airfreighted from Kenya a sound ethical choice? Or organic milk from farmers paid a pittance, because retailers treat their produce as a loss leader? Inspired by the principles of organic, we make sure that in everything we do, we do better.
Riverford is owned by its staff. That means we’re free to make sure everyone is treated fairly – from the bees in our fields, to your local delivery team.
We never air freight. And across the year, around 80% of our veg is UK-grown.
We treat other farmers fairly, agreeing good prices well in advance and always sticking to those prices.
By the end of 2020, we’ll be using home compostable packaging for all our veg, fruit and salad boxes. And we collect your box from your doorstep to reuse up to 10 times!
