All you have to do is answer the following questions: 1 In which year did Riverford begin?

S
o here’s your chance to win an organic Riverford hamper worth £100 which includes fresh produce such as organic meat, vegetables, fruit, milk, bread, juices, wine, ales and even chocolate! Multi-award winning Riverford Organic Vegetables is an independent provider of organic produce, supplying customers in Petersfield and surrounding Hampshire towns with mouth watering delights, including amazing organic meat, seasonal vegetables and a variety of other delicious products. Riverford began in Devon in 1987, delivering to just 30 local homes. Word soon spread, and with it came the challenge of how to meet demand without compromising a commitment to local growing and employment, supporting local farmers and keeping a close link between grower and consumer. The solution was to team up with sister farms, including Upper Norton Farm in Hampshire, who share the same ethos, growing and delivering to their local communities. Riverford first came to Petersfield www.lifeinpetersfield.co.uk
in 2003. Each week, hundreds of customers receive distinctive Riverford boxes packed with delicious vegetables, fruit and other foodstuffs, and business continues to blossom as the popularity of buying fresh organic produce grows. “For a long time, organic farming and produce have been labelled as elitist and expensive,” says Andy, “but as more and more people buy organic food, prices have fallen and the vegetables and fruit are good for your health and the environment, as well as your pocket. Riverford prices have been proven to be significantly lower than organic vegetables sold through leading supermarkets, and of course our delivery is also free.” Riverford’s commitment goes beyond supplying customers with mouth watering organic produce. Riverford was recently named
Best Online Retailer in The Observer Ethical Awards 2010, voted for by the public. This is Riverford’s third Observer award. Last year the company won Best Ethical Business and its farm restaurant the Field Kitchen was named Best Ethical Restaurant in the Observer Food Monthly Awards. “Riverford has a loyal and growing number of customers who recognise that business is not just about making money and profits,” says Haley. “As well as serving our customers by having a good presence online, we strive to provide them with a friendly, open and honest service in Hampshire and Surrey.” Riverford Organic Vegetables www.riverford.co.uk 01428 751741
