³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Available for over a year

Adam Henson meets the third finalist in the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 4 Farmer of the Year category in the Food and Farming Awards. Adrian Dolby shows Adam around his farm in Oxfordshire. Adrian manages a 6500 acre organic mixed farm with around 100 suckler cows, 2500 ewes and 8500 organic free range hens. The farm has the largest area of organic arable in the UK. The farm's 8,500 organic hens produce fresh eggs sold directly to independent shops and restaurants across southern England and also to local people through " Egg Sheds" where people can come and buy eggs directly from the farm. They also produce organic liquid egg for bakers, ice cream makers and food producers. Adrian uses precision farming to reduce his carbon emissions, and encourages wildlife onto his farm by using margins at the edges of arable fields.
