A couple from Worcester, Bill and Andrea Donnelly, are to become part of Riverford Organic Vegetables’ network of distributors operating a home delivery box scheme in individual locations across southern England. The award-winning home-delivered organic fruit and vegetable box scheme sources more than 85 different vegetables from partner, the South Devon Organic Producer Group, which is a co-operative of 13 family-run farms in South Devon, founded by Riverford Farm in Dart Valley, Devon.

“Both Bill and myself were becoming increasingly concerned with the food available to us and to our children,” said Andrea Donnelly, a Riverford vegetable box customer herself. “We were keen to find a way of educating others on the benefits of eating organically and, with Riverford Organic Vegetables, we have found our voice. Vegetable box schemes are a great alternative to the supermarkets, allowing customers to buy great tasting, seasonal organic vegetables fresh from the farm. We like the way the company focuses on flavour, freshness and seasonality, not cosmetic perfection.”
