Enabling The projects

We started working with the incredible Riverford team in September 2023, when Guy Singh-Watson personally donated the proceeds from a staff buy-out of the company.

Since then the Riverford team have working closely with Chefs in Schools to enable many exciting projects. Just take a look below

Riverford was founded by farmer Guy Singh-Watson in Devon in 1987, when he started delivering organic vegetables to 30 local homes via what was one of the first veg box schemes.

They now deliver around 70,000 organic veg boxes every week across the country to a loyal band of customers who share the company’s environmental and ethical ethos.

But it’s not just about sustainable food – Guy’s passion for ethical business led him to handing over the reins of Riverford to its staff. The company became employee owned in June 2018, ensuring its ethical values should be protected forever.

Now they’re supporting charities and organisations trying to make a difference through food.

“This initiative represents a crucial step towards ensuring every child enjoys the benefits of fresh, vegetable-rich diets. It’s about more than just feeding children; it’s about teaching them and their families the value of good, wholesome food.”
