Riverford Veg Box Review
We have been feasting on the freshest and tastiest organic fruit and veg this week, thanks to Riverford.
Our Riverford fruit box and veg box surpassed all expectations. The boxes provide a diverse and plentiful supply of fruit and veg to snack on and to turn into culinary delights for all the family.
Riverford began a delivery service around 25 years ago when Guy Watson, founder and owner of Riverford farm in Devon, started delivering fruit and veg boxes to his local friends.
Today Riverford delivers around 40,000 boxes a week to homes across the UK from their regional farms located in Cambridgeshire, Yorkshire and Hampshire. As well as organic fruit and veg, Riverford also produce organic food essentials such as meat, cheese, eggs, bread and cereals.
The taste and freshness of the fruit and veg was second to none. I usually buy organic veg from two of the major UK supermarkets and I can say there’s no comparison with Riverford’s produce. There’s something about eating fruit and veg that’s just been picked, with no cold storage involved and minimal transportation.
We really liked the addition of the Riverford Recipes fold-out card in the boxes. These contain delicious recipes for using with the fresh produce included in the box and can be kept in a recipe folder for future reference.
Our family has enjoyed some great meals using the veg box ingredients, along with a hearty Leek and Potato Soup and a no-pastry Pumpkin, Sprouting Broccoli and Leek Quiche.
We’re making the most of the fresh organic fruit, eating it with our breakfast, throughout the day as healthy snacks and in the evening chopped up roughly as a fresh fruit salad.
For a great family day out, you can take the children to visit Riverford farm and see where the veg is grown. While you’re there you can enjoy freshly cooked produce at the Riverford Field Kitchen restaurant which is open daily.
Riverford’s fruit and vegetables were delivered to my door by our Riverford local vegman who delivers the veg on a set day to maximise efficiency and reduce food miles.
The fruit and veg were wonderfully presented in boxes, looking so good I wanted to try them immediately.
Why not try a Riverford veg box for you and your family, delivery is free with all Riverford box orders.
Sweetcorn Bites the Healthy Snack
If you’re looking for a healthy snack that’s nutritious for all the family, you’ll find Sweetcorn Bites fit the bill.
We’ve really enjoyed snacking on Sweetcorn Bites, thanks to Barfoots Farm. Versatile and easy to cook, we also ate the sweetcorn bites as a side dish with grilled fish and tomato salsa.
Healthy and naturally sweet, sweetcorn is high in carbohydrates and provides a range of nutrients and fibre.
Each packet contains eight cob bites which can be cooked in the microwave, steamed or boiled. My favourite way to enjoy Sweetcorn Bites is to steam them until tender. No butter is required as they are sweet enough just to pick up and bite into.
Sweetcorn Bites are the initiative of Barfoots Farm in West Sussex. Their philosophy is to grow the tastiest, juiciest and freshest veg. Barfoots place an emphasis on sustainability, aiming to reduce waste, reuse and recycle whenever possible. This focus is taken across their farms in the UK and their global farming network, with ethical trading initiatives in place.
Barfoots Farm have have earned the recognition of the LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) logo on all their veg. They have also started to produce biogas from their veg waste products, for use as renewable heat and power, as well as irrigable water and natural fertiliser.
Sweetcorn Bites are available from Ocado and selected stores at Tesco, Waitrose and Co-op. To find out more about Sweetcorn Bites and Barfoots Farm visit Sweetcorn Bites.
