Dear Lesley,

Thanks for letting us know how you've been finding your deliveries, and for your feedback.

We're so sorry to hear that your radishes from your recent delivery haven't lasted as long as expected. We've made our customer services team aware, so they can reach out to you and ensure that things are put right for you.

Thank you again for your feedback and we hope you continue to enjoy your veggies.

I will delete my account and won’t be ordering again.

I placed my first order with Riverford and increased my basket value specifically to receive their promotional “free” chopping board. The board I received was nothing like the photos — large yellow resin‑like stains on both sides, shiny patches that won’t absorb oil, and overall a piece that looks like it would never be sold at full price.

I contacted customer service twice and waited five days for each reply. Both responses were dismissive, repeatedly asking for photos even after I explained that the issue is clearly visible in person but not on camera. They insisted that because the item was a “free gift”, they would not offer any goodwill credit, and kept pointing to “natural variations” rather than acknowledging the poor quality.

The whole experience felt like being fobbed off rather than listened to. Instead of resolving a simple issue, Riverford placed obstacles, delays, and excuses. As a new customer hoping to support a community‑focused farm, this was extremely disappointing. I will delete my account and won’t be ordering again.

Thank you for your patience while waiting for our response. We have had a large number of emails and are working hard to respond to everyone as swiftly as possible

We would also like to apologise if our response came across as dismissive – please know that this was certainly never our intention. We're sorry if this left you feeling that your concerns had not been properly validated.

To help us investigate this thoroughly and prevent similar issues in the future, we would ask customers to provide photographs of any boards that appear to be of poor quality. This allows us to follow up with our supplier and identify any underlying issues, helping us ensure this does not become an ongoing problem.

Although we're unable to offer a monetary refund for the board, as it was originally provided free of charge, we would be happy to look into an exchange. As we don't have your account details from your review, please feel you can call our customer service team if your concerns haven't been resolved and we would be happy to speak to you directly.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and thank you for giving us the opportunity to put things right.

Excellent early delivery and cat-proof packaging!

We order from Riverford—mainly sweet potatoes, fruit, and bread—and are very pleased with the service. The delivery is always early and prompt. I love that they use paper bags for the packaging, but what really impressed me is that the driver goes the extra mile to cover the food with a plastic sheet. This completely protects our delivery from the local cats before I wake up to bring it inside! Highly recommended for both the quality and the thoughtful service.

We particularly love their organic Murasaki sweet potatoes. It is currently the only place I can reliably find this variety, and the taste is exactly like the authentic sweet potatoes I've had in Japan. They also stock the vibrant all-purple ones, though they are currently out of stock - we can't wait for them to come back! Highly recommend Riverford for both their exceptional produce and their thoughtful, caring service.

I have used River ford a few times now

I have used River ford a few times now, the website is easy to navigate, lots of choice, the food comes packaged in fully recyclable boxes which you leave out when you're next delivery is due, most importantly is that all the produce taste so much better than what you get at the supermarket, which I'd like to think means my body is receiving no nasty chemicals, but all the essential nutrients I need

Excellent Service and Produce

I have found Riverford produce on the whole to be good. They give you plenty of storing, preparing and cooking tips, not to mention plenty of excellent recipes. Contact service is easy, friendly and hassle free. I highly recommend this company.
