Have just signed up for riverford veg and salad boxes again and was very disappointed. The asparagus was old and woody and the carrots were way past there best. The sad fact is that there was far too little food to feed the three of us for a week and I had to shop for more produce meaning my food bill was astronomical. My other major worry is the food miles clocked up importing food from Europe ... it seemed that more than half the food was imported. The customer service people apologised and refunded half of the money I had paid but I simply cannot afford to shop like this. I shopped with the market garden man at my local market and was blown away by locally grown top notch products at bargain prices rather than stuff imported from all over Europe. Riverford ... I won't be shopping with you again
