TO satisfy his appetite for great-tasting food Alan McInnes has now started his own business delivering fresh organic food door to door in the Warrington area.
Now as well as enjoying fresh food he has discovered the added benefit of getting his 10 year-old son to eat fruit.
He has joined Riverford Organic, based at Stockley Farm, delivering award-winning fresh seasonal organic fruit and vegboxes straight from the farm to homes in the area.
Alan says to think of Riverford “as your allotment, without the digging.” Riverford grows as much as possible on Stockley Farm with the help of local growers, so you get really fresh veg.
The box scheme is easy and flexible – and delivery is free. You can top up your order with organic meat, milk, eggs and more. Every week Riverford keeps in touch with a newsletter and a recipe to help you get the most out of your box.
Alan is passionate about good food and decided to set up the business to help spread the word to local people. “I’ve always had an interest in food,” explains Alan, “but struggled to find really great-tasting produce. All that changed when I became a Riverford customer – the vegetables taste like they should. Getting a box also reawakened my love of cooking – and best of all, I even managed to get my 10 year old son, to eat fruit!”
Setting up deliveries in the local area was the next step for Alan. “I was so impressed by my Riverford vegboxes that I decided to start my own business delivering them. Eating good food is so important and I really want to get the message out to local people that organic doesn’t have to be expensive. Our vegboxes work out around 20% cheaper than the same produce in the supermarkets, and that’s without factoring in our free delivery. By choosing a Riverford vegbox, you’re getting the best-tasting, freshest organic vegetables, supporting Stockley Farm and local growers – and you might even find the kids enjoy them too.”
Vegboxes start from just £8.35. For more information see www.riverford.co.uk/stockley or call 0845 600 2311.
