Organic Goods Delivered To Your Door

Having fresh fruit and veg delivered to your door each week is a great way to ensure the whole family get their 5 a day, and when it's organic and straight from the farm you know it's the best quality for everyone.

The large original box from Riverford Organic Farmers includes 11 varieties, plenty for a family of 3 or 4, that are always ripe and ready to devour so the contents change as the season does.
Delicious.




Our recent delivery included potatoes, carrots, green onions, true spinach, savoy cabbage, mixed salad leaves, tomatoes, sweetcorn, apples, bananas and cape gooseberries. A really good selection to cook with our meals, to nibble as healthy snacks and to pop into our bakes (banana bread!). The Mini Mes enjoyed having a rummage through the items and after a quick wash were happy to tuck into the apples.


Receiving a few items I wouldn't usually purchase in the supermarket inspired me to be more creative in the kitchen which was a bonus and the recipe idea included was really useful (spaghetti with spinach, walnut and basil pesto). There were tips on how to cook certain veg too and I popped some corn on the BBQ for the very first time!





I also liked that the salad and spinach were bagged to conveniently pop straight into the fridge and that the smaller items were placed into card containers to prevent them getting squished when being delivered. It was all nicely packaged within a big recyclable box.

Everything looked good and tasted equally so. We were therefore rather impressed by the service, especially for the price of £19.95 for this specific size, with free delivery too.




For your chance to WIN a Riverford Organic Farmers box you can enter via the Gleam entry form below.

The giveaway ends at 11.59pm GMT on 18th October 2016.


Leaving a comment is compulsory but there are lots of additional entry methods available also to increase your chances.



Good luck!
