Guy Watson began farming at Riverford in 1985 on three acres of land on the Watson family farm based in Staverton‚ South Devon. Converting to organic status in 1987‚ Guy began delivering his vegetables to local shops‚ including his brother’s farm shops.

This book charts the rise of Riverford and ethical eating‚ the new concern for ‘food miles’ and local food production‚ and is a useful guide to growing‚ sourcing and using the best-quality produce in an environmentally aware business.
