Riverford Organics, Buckfastleigh, Devon
If you like to know where your food comes from and you care about the planet, you can shop online with Riverford Organics for when you stay at Stonehayes Farm on your large group holiday in Devon. You’ll need to be organised and order in advance, and bear in mind that they only deliver to the Honiton area on Wednesdays.
A big part of what Riverford Organics do is weekly seasonal veg boxes – thousands and thousands of them. You can choose your one-off box, picking what you want from the loose vegetables, fruit and salad that they have; add whatever else you like – freshly baked bread, farm fresh milk, yoghurt, butter, cheese, eggs, meat, soft drinks, artisan cider, beer and wine, even store cupboard essentials like pasta, passata and muesli. It’s all SO tasty, which is perhaps the biggest benefit of food that’s 100% organic, along with the fact that there are no nasties.
But isn’t it great to know that by buying from Riverford, you’re contributing to so much more that matters – this is a business that really cares about the soil and wildlife on its farms, it cares about the small scale growers and producers they work with, so they’re all paid a fair price. They’re doing what they can to help towards a more sustainable world – all electric vehicles by 2025, planet friendly packaging, and a limited carbon footprint, with 80% of the produce grown in the UK.
