Abel & Cole grew from selling potatoes door to door in 1988 to an organic veg box scheme which, in 2007, was sold for nearly £40 million to private equity firm Phoenix. It then made losses of £27 million in 2010, and control passed to Lloyds Banking Group. Keith Abel bought back in, and remained a director when the company was bought by the William Jackson Food Group (WJFG) in 2012. In 2015 Abel & Cole turned over £73 million.

Guy Watson started the vegetable growing business at Riverford in 1986. Riverford is a family farm, which started moving towards less intensive farming in the 1970s. Riverford told us that “The business will never be owned by venture capitalists… Riverford will never be sold, but instead will become a customer- and/or staff-owned business. We also support small scale veg box schemes both here and overseas. We… openly share farming information and business advice”.Guy Watson started the vegetable growing business at Riverford in 1986.
