Refer a Friend
Get £15 each for you and your friend when they join Riverford
Your friend can use their £15 to really get started with Riverford - try a seasonal veg box, a recipe box for a dine-in treat, or ordering whatever they fancy. For each friend you refer, we'll also add to our fund for harvesting and donating gluts of veg to FareShare South West, who fight hunger by redistributing surplus food. Help us feed those in need, and help friends live life on the veg!

Fighting hunger & tackling food waste
For every friend you refer to Riverford, we'll add to our fund for FareShare South West - the region's biggest food charity, who fight hunger by redistributing surplus food.
This fund will be used to harvest, transport and donate crops from small-scale growers experiencing unplanned and overwhelming gluts; crops that would otherwise have gone to waste in the field.
Last year, you and your friends have helped us to achieve:
We've always had a robust system for using up surplus fruit and veg that makes it to Riverford - whether it's cooked in our staff canteen, or donated to our charity partners, such as Food in Community.
This new project with FareShare will help us unlock a different kind of food waste.
Feeding those in need, preventing food waste, and helping small family farmers to make the most of a bumper crop. It's win, win, win. A big thank-you from us all!
Who are FareShare South West?
FareShare South West redistributes surplus food to schools and charities, fighting hunger across the region - including in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, and right up into Gloucestershire. Last year, they rescued and redistributed food for more than three million meals.
They're an independent charity, but part of the greater FareShare network. Any food they can't distribute to local charities, they'll send on to another of their FareShare partners. That way, nothing goes to waste - and whenever we have a glut of carrots, beans or broccoli, we know it'll reach people in poverty right across the UK.

LOOKING FOR ANSWERS?
Some of our most-asked questions…
-
How does Refer a Friend work?
Our Refer a Friend scheme is designed to thank our loyal customers for sharing Riverford with their friends and family.
All you need to do is share your unique referral link (found in your account) with someone you think might enjoy our veg. Once they have signed up and had their first order delivered, we will add £15 to both your and your friend’s accounts so that you can enjoy a box on us, and add to our fund for FareShare South West.
-
What does my friend need to order?
Your friend can order whatever they fancy! Choosing from our range of veg boxes, meat boxes and recipe boxes, or building their own box from scratch (they just need to reach our minimum spend of £15). The order can be a one-off, or set up for regular deliveries.
-
When will I get my £15 credit?
Once your friend has received their first delivery, £15 will automatically be added to your Riverford account and theirs. We will also add to our FareShare South West fund. This is used to harvest, transport and redistribute food that would otherwise have gone to waste in the field – which happens across the year, because of unplanned and overwhelming gluts.
Keep an eye on your emails; we’ll let you know when your £15 has been added. Or you can view your account balance at any time in your account.
-
How do I use my credit?
Once you have the £15 credit on your account, it will automatically go towards the cost of your next order. You don’t need to do anything.
-
How many friends can I refer?
You can refer as many friends and family you like (with a maximum of ten per month).
