My Riverford Veg Box Has Arrived - What's Inside?

As you may be aware, I am trying to find suppliers who can give me good quality food from English farms. I want to eradicate sugary and processed food from my diet. I am trying Riverford Veg Boxes and have ordered a small one to start the ball rolling. The first one has arrived, so let's see what's in season and what you get! :)

I am buying from Riverford since a year . There is an option for 0 packaging veggie box ,too.

[@susanolson3611]

A cooking series sounds interesting! 🙂

[@christineconstable6024]

Thank you for reminding me how good Riverford is. I used them for years but when my husband died had to stop because the boxes were too much for one.

[@robertbrailsford1539]

Looks good Richard. Keep us informed please.

[@larryhazelwood2632]

You definitely received a high quality box of veg. With all the problems we are going through I believe through it all it has opened our eyes to just how fragile we really are. Your videos are progressing through time for the inspiration and motivation of others. Thank you Richard for all the good things you do.

Started getting these veg & fruit boxes recently and they are fab, worth the money and great it's delivered to your home.

Lovely little food box Richard! Being an allotmenter it is nice having fresh organic foods. will look forward to seeing your future video series on this. Jen

[@doodlesparklecleaning]

organic food is what we eat too! Love to see a series on cooking with the vegetables I don't eat meat and would be interested in the soups and broths

Always enjoy watching the bald explorer cheers

I’m pleased that you got a good box from Riverford. I use one of their competitors (Abel and Cole) and that has a very similar ethos. One comment I would make is that I’m surprised at the amount of plastic packaging that has come with your box. The runner beans could have come in a paper bag for instance.

[@georgetimperley8906]

That will be a good new experance, great video, the veg looks nice !

[@daveevad]

Richard, jolly good! It will be an interesting event.

[@ExploreDerbyshire]

I get Able and Cole veg box now as they are also organic. RiverFord are great too

[@HarryVerey]

Looks excellent box of veggies . Well presented vid very important subject Richard

New subscriber here! I got my third Riverford box this Wednesday and we love their veg! And the meat..not cheap but as you say, eat less meat, and buy better. It just grieves me that so many people can’t afford to buy organic , and will really be at the mercy of the hideously crap stuff heading our way if our hideous government get their way over USA trade deals. Did you watch Despatches programme on Channel4 this week? Like you, I’ve been following Guy Watson for some time and love and admire his ethos. Finally bit the bullet and now subscribe to the wonderful produce. Imma keen amateur Palin cook so look forward to your videos to come!

Spinach and Broccoli can also be grown in pots! Broccoli needs a big deep pot, and if you plant Basil in the same pot or in a separate pot close by you'll keep a fly away that lays eggs in the flower head. Basil will also keep regular house away, and it's a great herb. I have some plants growing in window boxes, except they are on the floor of my balcony. The boxes are great for plants like spinach, onions and beets.

Excellent project Richard. We are what we eat! Globally 1.2 billion tonnes of animal fodder is produced each year, with a financial value of over $400 billion. That’s means that an enormous amount of agricultural land, and fresh water, is now specifically focused on the production of meat. The udders of genetically created ‘Super-cows’ are so large, and produce so much milk, that they drag along the ground! 🤭☹️😱

[@CharlieCooper3101]

Nice little selection of freshly grown fruit and veg Richard, I like it all freshly grown and stuff allthough I do think £12.65 is a little expensive just for that little box.

[@andrewnorris1]

It’s a great discipline to cook a meal with a limited range of ingredients and if you get three meals from your box that averages around £4 a meal, I’d say that was pretty good value. Yes, do film some of your experiments.

[@peterflynn7816]

You've inspired me to do something very similar - my first box arrives next week!
