Work with us at Riverford, and join a thriving employee‑owned business. Be part of a supportive, down‑to‑earth and solutions‑driven butchery team. Beyond the Veg Box – at Riverford our passion for organic vegetables is unmatched. We’re not just about delivering veg boxes; we’re dedicated to sustainable farming and community building. As part of our team you become a co‑owner, sharing in our successes and contributing to a mission that goes beyond profit.

We aim to make Riverford a fulfilling place to work, where our co‑owners feel valued. Our HQ at Wash Farm in Devon is a beautiful place to work, surrounded by good people, good food and plenty of fresh air. As a co‑owner you’ll benefit from 33 days holiday (pro‑rata, including bank holidays), an ethical & generous company pension scheme, and an annual profit share, where 10% of all profits are split equally among co‑owners.

We also offer heavily discounted organic breakfasts and lunches, free organic fruit and veg to take home and free parking. Grow with Riverford – take the next step in your personal and professional journey with training tailored to help you grow and achieve your goals. As our Retail Cutter you’ll help shape Riverford’s future. Although better known for our veg, Riverford has its own butchery and delivers organic meat to homes across the country.

Riverford meat is organic, British, meticulously sourced, properly hung and carefully butchered for the very best quality and flavour. We have seen continuing growth in our meat sales and are looking for a butcher to join our busy team as a retail cutter.
