A VEGETABLE delivery service has launched in Ellesmere Port.

Riverford Organic Vegetables, a national veg box scheme, has launched its weekly deliveries of its local organic vegetable boxes into Ellesmere Port and the Wirral.

Riverford has developed sales in Liverpool, Manchester and Chester since 2008.

As well as delivering vegetables, Riverford offers eggs, milk, cereal, meat, wine, chocolate and more.

Each week, Riverford will provide up to eight recipes that show customers how to use the contents of the box.

Riverford Organic, with its local base at Arley, Northwich is the fastest growing vegetable box scheme in the UK, serving more than 47,000 customers across the country each week.

Owner John Walton has been selling organic vegetables out of Stockley Farm since 2002 and joined forces with Riverford Organic in September 2008.

The deliveries to the Wirral have already started and the team of delivery drivers will be getting to know potential local customers over the next few months through a series of events.
