We recently completed a dye commission for The Bull Inn, Totnes - re-dyeing their gorgeous recycled linen aprons after three years of use, since their first outing in the pub. The Bull Inn,
In Totnes, Devon, showcases local, Organic and delicious produce in their wonderful inn, adhering to their ‘no bull’ principles - meaning they give a s**t about where they source stuff and how they interact with the world.. basically.

This means that they embark upon such projects as they did with the aprons - they used recycled, hand-sourced linen, asked us, PIGMENT Organic Dyes CIC to naturally dye them, to make them, and Make Good Print Co. | Eco-friendly Screenprinting to print them - all in our local vicinity in Totnes.

Three years on, after many a spillage, pen leak, breakage and hot wash, the aprons have a new lease of life. Repaired by people connected to the pub and re-dyed by us, they have another story to tell.

The new colours are (from the top):
- Organic Scabious Black Knight + iron
- Organic Burning Embers Marigold
- Organic Tansy + iron

Keep your eyes out for them next time you pop by the pub 👀 and let us know what you think!

Huge, HUGE news!!

Guy and Geetie Singh-Watson have just been named The Independent Climate 100 List. WTH, alongside some of the world’s leading environmentalists, campaigners, innovators and change-makers 💚

We could not be prouder!! 🙌🙌

Forty years of farming, four organic pubs, a qualification teaching the next generation of hospitality leaders how it’s done, and now this!! Not bad going.

There are some amazing people on this list – check out the full article here:
https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/climate-100/climate-100-list-2026-climate-week-nyc-b3046223.html

“Between them, Guy and Geetie Singh-Watson have spent decades challenging the idea that sustainability and commercial success are incompatible. Guy founded Riverford , turning a single field of organic vegetables into one of Britain’s best-known veg box businesses, which has been employee-owned since 2018. This year he celebrates four decades of farming.
Geetie founded the UK’s first certified organic pub, the Duke of Cambridge in London, in 1998 and opened The Bull Inn in Totnes, Devon, in 2019. Most recently, together with the The Apricot Centre (a nearby biodynamic farm), the pub has launched a qualification in regenerative and sustainable hospitality which Guy lectures on and is held at Guy and Geetie’s Devonshire farm. It’s designed to equip the next generation of hospitality leaders with the knowledge to run businesses more responsibly. Their message is simple: hospitality has enormous power to influence what we eat, how we farm and, ultimately, the kind of food system we build.”

Bull Inn Sports Day/Staff Party 🎈

Post Summer we all needed a bit of sillyness. We’d had the date in the diary for months - it takes quite a bit of planning to close off all the rooms, rejig rotas, orgsnise food, booze etc plus closing on a Sunday, one of busiest days, from a trade point of view a decision in itself, but we needed it, and the team so deserved it. They worked their butts off this summer, in that relentless heat, so some titting about on a field followed by curry & beers was just the ticket. Needless to say more turned up for the curry & booze portion of the evening than the sports day bit 😆 bloody squares. Thanks everyone for coming (including some of our suppliers - supersweet ❤️)

Anyhooo, we’d always planned to use KEVICCS field, before the sign post by .winks why wouldn’t we, in our minds, and I’s bet in the minds of most of Totnes its a public space. There’s a bit of a campaign building around the future of the field, so if you’d like to know more follow Most important though is that you continue to use the field.

Tonight, the sky puts on a proper spectacle. From around 6pm, up to 95% of the sun disappears, the deepest partial eclipse Britain’s seen since 2015, and as close to total as we’ll get until 2081! It peaks a little after 7pm, low and golden in the western sky, so if you’ve got a sea view or an open horizon, that’s your spot.
Those of us not working tonight, will be up on Dartmoor. Check out Dartmoor Partner tips for where is best to view, and to check out their top tier walking routes for hidden gems on the moor.

Remember folks...you will need proper eye protection, this isn’t a “have a quick peek” situation, but it doesn’t need to come from a packet. We made ours from what was already lying around the pub: pinhole viewers from cardboard boxes and a colander.
Same science, zero landfill, and mildly more fun to explain to a confused passer-by than a pair of cardboard glasses.
Tag us in your own homemade eclipse viewer creations!

🌒 Bonus for your diary: if tonight whets your appetite, the moon returns the favour on 28 August with a partial lunar eclipse. Earth’s shadow creeping across it in the small hours. Different show, same sky, no glasses required for that one.
