Ivel Valley no more!

I have been buying bird food from IV for many years and was always happy to pay a premium for top quality food. Last deliver, the sunflower hearts had gone down in quality and I assumed that it was a bad batch. I have recently placed another order and was suprised to get an email from Ivel Valley saying that I had signed up to an mailing list for a company called The Garden and Home Trading Company in Preston. At the same time, Paypal confirmed that I had just made an order to the same company, not F.B.Parrish which is Ivel Valley.

I have now received the seeds and the quality is very poor. The sunflower seeds are 50% chips and dust and the packaging is plastic.

On doing a little digging, it appears that Parrish have sold the company and this new company is using the name and original marketing.

On the basis of the quality of these seeds, I will not be using them again!

Right stuff on time

I’ve been buying from Ivel Valley Bird Food for a few years now and I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. My orders always arrive when expected, and I love knowing I’m giving the birds in my garden proper, high-quality food. There are no cheap fillers, just premium ingredients, and their suet is homemade and tested on their Bedfordshire farm. You can really tell the difference — the birds absolutely love it! It feels good knowing everything is sustainably grown and backed by experts, so I know I’m giving them the very best.

Delivy

Delivery can often be confusing with some items coming in 2 or 3 days then another the day after,giving the impression that some items were missing.

Perfect as always

My fat balls were actually delivered on Sunday the 7th. As always, in perfect condition and the birds can't wait to eat them.

Very fast delivery of good quality products.

Amazed at the speed of delivery. The order was for suet pellets and fat blocks. Both are very good quality and the birds seem to love them. - no waste at all, and they don’t go rock hard. Highly recommend them.
