Riverford Organic Vegetables is going from strength to strength. Four times winner of the prestigious Soil Association /You Magazine Organic Food Awards, Riverford Organic Vegetables is the first organic food franchise in the UK. In 2003 Guy Watson, owner of Riverford Organic Vegetables, was voted the Soil Association’s Organic Business Person of the Year and the company won The Daily Express / British Franchise Association Brand Builder of the Year award. Riverford Organic Vegetables, with our partner farms in South Devon Organic Producers Cooperative, is one of the largest organic vegetable producer groups in the UK. We grow over 85 different vegetables on 800 acres of organic land in South Devon. With consumers’ increasing concerns about knowing how and where their food is produced, Riverford franchisees are a vital link between consumers and the farm through our organic box scheme. We are certificated by the Soil Association, which ensures all our produce is grown to controlled standards and guaranteed to be 100% organic. We are able to guarantee quality and continuity 51 weeks of the year.Through franchising we are able to offer an exciting, ethical and unique business opportunity for enthusiastic people who want to join our growing success. You don’t need any prior experience to run a Riverford home delivery franchise – but we are looking for people who understand and believe in the product they are selling and who can communicate the Riverford story to new customers. You’ll need to be highly organised and enjoy meeting people. You must also be able to work in partnership with Riverford and follow our proven business systems.Three out of every four households in the UK now buy organic food*. It’s not hard to see why the organic sector has experienced such a boom over the last five years. Fuelled by food scares such as BSE, Foot and Mouth Disease, the introduction of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) into the food chain and the damage done to our soil and indigenous wild life by intensive farming practices, consumer confidence in food production and food manufacturing is at an all time low.
