Abel & Cole VS Riverford - what are the main differences? Do Riverford take note of likes and dislikes for example?

[franch]

Used to use A&C - want to restart but considering Riverford - can't get the latter's website to work at the moment so if anyone can compare it'd be useful

Anyone? I'm going to try and sort an account out this evening

BTW Tesco has a huge organic box reduced from £10 to £8 at the moment.

riverford don't do likes and dislikes

i switched back to A&C because i kept throwing stuff away - riverford were seriously taking the piss with the amount of carrots they were sending us

however riverford are, i think, local franchises, so my experience might not be representative. you could always give them a trial and see how it works out (they are cheaper than A&C and a bit less corporate)

I love Riverford. Because they have a variety of boxes, you can generally avoid something you really don't like. Plus, they have extras you can add to basic boxes. And their ethics are excellent.

organic veg box companies

aaah ha!

And do they just give you a box full of "stuff" ie: you don't order what you want? cool!

obviously not give give

well that depends whether you go to riverford or A&C

example (scroll down)

oh yeah should have read thread

I am going to order from them.

Glad I got curious and clicked on this thread now.

Buggritt. No I'm not, they don't deliver to me.

riverford do like and dislikes. we dont get aubergines,brussels sprouts and courgettes. They refund the difference.

We used A&C but Riverford is much much better value for money plus produce much fresher

Riverford have a sister company - Nene something? - in the north somewhere, if that's any good to you.
There are lots of organic box companies now though - must be some near you.
