REV On Air: An Organic Revolution with Guy Singh-Watson, Founder of Riverford
Guy Singh-Watson, Founder of Riverford Organics, the well-loved UK based organic veg delivery service gives us a perspective of what its like to be a British farmer in 2023, trying to do good for our planet. Guy’s raw and passionate take on the climate crisis and the risks of using chemicals in farming will spark drive in any listener to think more about and research what’s going into and on their produce and the methods used to grow them. Guy is an inspirational, passionate, opinionated and admired figure in the world of organic farming, who still spends more time in the fields than in the boardroom. Twice awarded BBC Radio 4 Farmer of the Year, Guy is passionate about sharing with others the organic farming and business knowledge he has accumulated over the last three decades. His weekly veg box newsletters connect customers to the farm with refreshingly honest accounts of the trials and tribulations of producing organic food, and the occasional rant about farming, ethical and business issues he feels strongly about. Guy has always believed that organic food should not be elitist, but accessible for everyone. He has built Riverford to give a fair deal to all – growers, staff, customers and the planet. All of this was recognised when Riverford veg boxes were awarded Ethical Product of the Decade at the Observer Ethical Awards. Merci to our sponsor!
