youandiaredominoes Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I've just signed up to Riverfords, who grow and pick seasonal veg and deliver it to your door. http://www.riverford.co.uk/I received a knock on my door last night from a friendly sales agent and signed up to a trial. I was passed onto the the phone to give my card details which I didn't feel that comfortable about outside my front door but it all seems legit having a search on the web and on EDF it seems they are a proper company and I have received email notifications about my account.

Siduhe Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I've used Riverford for years. Definitely legitimate and with a really nice local (Southwark-based) distributor (Ged and Susie) too. I also have a lot of time for Guy Watson (the guy who runs Riverford) in terms of how he tries to balance the ethical and customer sides of his business and how focused he is on sustainability.This is his blog/news letter - http://www.riverford.co.uk/news. Mostly about what is coming up or what isn't working on the farms but every now something that really makes you think about where your food comes from.I should say I think Local Greens look really good too, but Riverford works for us.Edited to add the right link.

Undiscovered Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 We've being using Riverford for a few months and love it. Better than others I've used (never tried Local Greens mind you!). We get most of our shopping from there. Fruit, veg, milk, cheese, bread. The soups are blooming gorgeous and they've recently been stocking padron peppers! They don't freight which I like and the quality is consistently good in my experience.

canela Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I went with local greens for nearly a year and then gave up because i just couldn't take the turnip overload over the winter. but for those who are handy with a root veg i would fully recommend them. very friendly and 100% local and fresh.

Dulwich Born And Bred Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Only thing with local greens is that they don't do fruit . I would prefer to get my fruit and vegs from the same people /company .
