About Riverford organic vegetable box delivery scheme...
Guy Watson began farming at Riverford in 1985 on three acres of land on the Watson family farm based in Staverton, South Devon. With the land fully converted to organic status in 1987, Guy began delivering his vegetables to local shops, including his brothers farm shops. With a locally successful box scheme, home delivery was the next logical step, with local distributors setting up to operate the home delivery box scheme in individual locations, with all the vegetables being packed at Riverford Farm.

As part of the South Devon Organic Producer group, a co-operative of 13 family run farms in South Devon, they share machinery, labour and their knowledge of growing organic vegetables. By planning the cropping together they are able to grow 85 different varieties of vegetables to keep the boxes interesting all year. Their land stretches from the edges of Dartmoor down to the coast where the warm sea air protects the fields from frost and allows them to grow winter crops.

Riverford are one of the country's largest independent growers, certified by the Soil Association and are also one of Rick Stein's Food Heroes.
