Welcome to Riverford Organic Vegetables. Home to one of the largest organic vegetable home delivery box schemes in the UK. We grow over 85 vegetables, most of them picked one day and delivered the next. Can also order fruit boxes, or fruit and veg mix, organic meats, organic dairy produce and eggs, wines, chocolates and various other organic products. Also to be found on the website are some amazing recipes and how the produce is grown and also when it is harvested etc.
My mum and I have often ordered fruit/veg boxes from here as well as other products and we personally recommend this excellent company!

We sell more than just fruit and veg - you can choose from over 500 other things, including British meat, fish, bread and milk. You can customise your Abel & Cole box – just tell us any things you dislike; we’ll keep a note of them. If they’re planned for the box, we’ll give you something else instead. You can register your holidays with us, so we’ll automatically skip your deliveries while you’re away. You don’t need to be in to receive your box – just tell us where to leave the box, and we’ll charge your credit card the day after your delivery.
We work with over 60 British farms, including many who would be too small to have their own box schemes. Organic farming is based on the idea that a healthy environment significantly benefits crops and the health of those consuming them. It's about respecting natural ecological balances and maintaining the health of the soil and the ecosystems in which crops and livestock are raised.
Good reasons to go organic -, it tastes great, it's good for the environment, it preserves the fertility of the soil, it improves water quality, it's good for wildlife, it promotes animal welfare, it's good for you, it doesn't use ingredients that are genetically modified, it supports the rural economy because it is more labour intensive, it is a sustainable agricultural system for the 21st century.
