About

Mass-grown cauliflower is pushed on with artificial fertiliser, for rapid development but mushy florets. Our organic cauliflower is different: grown slowly and naturally, on mineral-rich soil. The result is smaller, firmer caulis with exceptional nutty flavour and crunch. For zero food waste, you can eat the leaves, too - they're tender and sweet.

UK Seasonality

Cauliflowers are easiest to grow in the late summer and autumn, but they thrive in the UK's damp maritime climate and can be grown throughout most of the year.

Makes a far better-tasting cauliflower cheese than anything I have made before

- Nicky, Riverford customer

How to prepare

Veg up your diet with cauliflower rice or used as a low-carb topping for cottage pie. Or go for full-on comfort with cauliflower cheese – to make it a full meal we like throwing in a good dollop of mustard, a bit of smoked fish, bacon or chopped hard-boiled eggs (usually not all at the same time!).

Storage

Keep in the fridge – they can last up to a fortnight.

Grown by Richard Tucker, Venn Farm, Devon

Veg is in the Tucker family’s genes at Venn Farm, South Devon. Richard and his dad Trevor grow a range of beautiful organic veg, including Savoy cabbage, leeks, purple sprouting broccoli, and the all-important swedes for our Christmas veg boxes. The pair converted their family farm to organic in 2011, and started growing veg for Riverford in 2020.
