PROS:
- Convenient: Riverford delivers the boxes straight to your door, making it easy to get fresh produce without having to leave your house.
- Organic: All of Riverford's produce is organic, which means that it is grown without harmful pesticides or chemicals.
- Seasonal: Riverford's fruit and veg boxes contain produce that is in season, which means that it is more likely to be fresher, tastier, and more nutritious than out-of-season produce.
- Variety: Riverford offers a variety of different box sizes and types, including vegetarian and vegan options, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.
- Supports local farmers: Riverford works with small-scale, independent farmers, which helps to support local communities and promote sustainable agriculture.
CONS:
- Cost: Riverford's fruit and veg boxes can be more expensive than buying produce from a supermarket or local farmer's market.
- Limited choice: While Riverford offers a variety of different box sizes and types, you can't choose exactly what goes into your box each week.
- Delivery schedules: Riverford has set delivery schedules, which means that you may not be able to get your produce on the day that is most convenient for you.

I have used Riverford food boxes for nearly 14 years because their food has great taste and texture eg lettuce that you can buy and chew a little. See pros and cons.
