What we like most is to produce foods ourselves from start to finish - from farm to table, the Riverford way. Food should tell a story and, because we know what it is, we can tell you.

Mass production of food has meant adulteration, in the form of additives, chemicals, techniques and processes. Favourable publicity for organics and farming in general has highlighted some of the health, environmental and welfare problems associated with modern agriculture. Between farm and retailer, in the form of transport and food processing there are vast areas, virtually unknown to the public. Adding air, water and emulsifiers was unheard of fifty years ago. Now they are normal practice. By making so many products ourselves we are able to avoid this abuse.
The core of the Riverford Farm Shop business has always been the Riverford kitchen and butchery.
