All Change at Riverford

On Your Farm

Available for over a year

Riverford is known as one of the largest organic veg-box schemes in the country. It's come a long way since owner Guy Watson started supplying veg for local businesses around Buckfastleigh in Devon. It now employs over 600 staff, has a turnover of £60million and makes 55 thousand deliveries a week. It has a co-operative of farms supplying produce and partner farms abroad to fill the gaps. Now the owner plans to change the structure to employee-ownership. Ruth Sanderson has been invited to find out why and how the staff feel about it.
