Episode 5: The Farmer and the Publican

This episode on Turning the Tide Lucas, Fyn and Matt sit down with two extraordinary trailblazers who have rewritten what it means to care in business - not about profit but also about people and planet. Guy Singh-Watson is the founder of the pioneering Riverford Organic Farmers and Geetie is a prolific publican, with her latest venture being the Bull Inn in Totnes. In fact, this episode was recorded on location at the Bull! Join us as we explore the future of organic farming and why small and medium-scale growers are central to any resilient food system, the Bull’s “noble rules” and what it means to build moral ambition into a business model, and Riverford’s move to employee ownership - including capping top pay at nine times the lowest wage. We also talk candidly about supermarkets, ultra-processed food, and what “patriotic millionaires” might look like in a country living with deep inequality.This is Turning the Tide: A brand new Roots Media production.
