British Farming is on its knees, climate change, labour shortages and the uncertain government support are three of the numerous factors not helping. But the main issue is that farmers cannot survive the prices, trading terms and insecurity imposed on them by the Big Six supermarkets.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.
Guy has always seen profit as a means not an end. He stuck to his word, and on June 8th 2018, sold 74% of Riverford to its employees at about a quarter of the market value. In May 2023, he sold his remaining shares, making Riverford 100% employee owned.
