Great organic veg box

Veg box is great value for money. Has widened the range of veg and recipes we've tried. Delivery is great and really convenient. Some minor issues with delivery at the start ironed out via a very responsive customer service. Also, good to know that our money is supporting local UK farmers and organic practises and the soil and wildlife as well as us.

This company is very disorganised

This company is very disorganised. I had a refund and asked for my membership to be cancelled. Today they have taken money from my bank. No one answers emails and the telephone involves holding the line for around an hour. Extremely dissatisfied

Disappointment

Quality of the vegetables is not as good as we expected. The broccoli was already yellowish. the radishes went soft after two days.
The potatoes had little flavour and the lettuce was tough.

Hi Ruth,

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts regarding a recent order you received. We're sorry to hear that some of the produce arrived in poor condition, we certainly appreciate how dispapointing this might have been.

As you've not mentioned that the matter was reported to us in your review, we'd like to suggest that you reach out to us so we can look at the issues affecting the order, ensuring compensation is awarded for any unusable produce.

This also provides us with an opportunity to record data for produce issues, enabling us to track trends and respond quickly to any quality issues we may have been otherwise unaware of.

We hope this helps and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

The delivery is good and prompt

The delivery is good and prompt. The products are good too. But I dislike the fact that fruits promised are replaced in the last moment. Eg cherries, strawberries are replaced with peaches, nectarines.

Good afternoon Anitha,

We appreciate your lovely feedback and we are so pleased to read that you are enjoying your Riverford deliveries.

Our sincere apologies that you have received some substitutions in either your fruit bag or boxes recently. We try really hard to stick to the original contents each week. However, sometimes this is unavoidable where we encounter widespread quality issues that result in produce being rejected, or where deliveries to us are delayed.

If you would prefer to avoid substitutions altogether, you can create your own box by selecting individual items. If any produce you've selected is not available at the time of packing, we will simply reimburse you rather than substituting the missing item.

We hope this helps, please do reach out to us if we can be of further assistance to you with any of the issues raised.

Fantastic fresh tasting vegetables all the time!

Fantastic fresh tasting vegetables all the time. I try to work my meals around the vegetables and get so upset if they get wasted! Really tasty organic produce without all the pesticides, and I usually by for 3-4 as it saves me shopping after work for the family. Definately recommend.

Great tasting Fruit & Veg!!

I love the fruit and veg from Riverford. I've been ordering from them for a month now. Everything tastes so much better than supermarket produce, and knowing it's actually safe to eat, has turned cooking and feeding my family into a joy again! Carrots taste fabulous -like carrots used to - my kids devour the tenderstem broccoli, the potatoes are full of flavour, and all the fruits we ordered were delicious.
