Riverford was founded by farmer Guy Singh-Watson in Devon in 1987, where he started delivering organic vegetables to 30 local homes via what was one of the first veg box schemes.
Riverford now delivers around 70,000 organic veg boxes every week across the country to a loyal band of customers who share the company’s environmental and ethical ethos.
It’s not just about sustainable food – Guy’s passion for ethical business led to him handing over the reins of Riverford to its staff and the company became employee owned in June 2018, ensuring its ethical values will be protected forever.
Riverford is certified B Corp and has been named one of the Best for the World™ B Corps of 2022, which means Riverford’s positive impact on workers (from benefits and conditions, to training and opportunities) has scored in the top 5% of all B Corps of its size worldwide.
