  • I would rather go organic with Riverford then Mr T. Only Waitrose is the only competitor that has any clout.

    I ordered a one off box and don't have anything scheduled for delivery in the coming weeks. :think:

    It was a nice box that I wouldn't mind paying £6 for, but not a chance in hell I'd pay the full price of £13.

    £6 probably wouldn't even cover the cost of producing and delivering to your home such high quality organic stuff, it's a matter of choice how much people are prepared to pay for quality and taste.

    I'd probably agree with you if I didn't have to throw a carrot away and probably the huge parsnip I got from them, that looks like it's rotting.
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

    If you buy your fruit and veg from a supermarket, then Riverford is a great option, as their pricing is only a little more than supermarket prices, but MUCH better quality. I used to get a box delivered weekly!

    Saying that, I find my local market is MUCH cheaper than both, almost half the price. Yesterday I got 2 huge bags of fruit and veg for just £10!

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    They are cheaper because they are not organic.
