Description
I was able to record an episode for my new podcast project Ecosystem Member (ecosystemmember.com) with a guest who I always wanted to have on You Can't Eat Money. I figured I'd share the episode here as well.
Today on the Ecosystem Member podcast, we have Guy Singh Watson, the founder of Riverford Organic Farmers.
For our non-UK listeners who maybe haven't heard of Guy, he's a bit of a business and farming legend in the UK. After growing up on his family's dairy farm and then becoming a management consultant, Guy returned to the farm and created Riverford Organic Farmers, which in two stages, he actually completely sold to employees - probably for less than he could have gotten from outside buyers - so the company could stay true to its values.
I've been a subscriber to Riverford's veg boxes since I got to England a few years ago. Riverford is in no way paying for or sponsoring this episode, Guy just created a company with full respect for nature and I really admire his leadership on key issues related to healthy food production for people and planet.
