This is why I support #Riverford: real #ethics as well as real trucks and no #greenwash. I’d like to live in a world where every business was like it.

@ChrisMayLA6 don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
Every #BCorp I’ve discovered in the #UK are existing, reputable companies that have taken a step to formalise their values (#Riverford, #Alpkit, #KrystalHosting, #ZenInternet). It’s an extra badge or stamp that acknowledges their effort and certifies their honesty. Maybe in some cases it is not “enough” - of course there are always improvements to be made in anything… but it is something; something good.

Strong language from our #Riverford veg box today - pretty justified too. #RightToRoam #Guillotines
"For centuries, while mainland Europe was in revolutionary turmoil, Britain’s rich and powerful avoided the guillotine by granting just enough, just in time. ... Now it seems that some feel responsibility only to themselves."

I've just realised #organic butter is cheaper from #Riverford than from any of my local supermarkets.
Although I have to admit the #Naturli #vegan block is really rather good, so mostly trying to use that instead of butter these days.
Riverford cheddar is also cheaper than the stuff we normally get from Waitrose too, and only ever so slightly more expensive - but I presume way tastier, we shall see! - than the organic cheddar at Morrison's, £13.72/kg vs £12.60/kg vs £11.96/kg)
