Hollis Mead Organic Dairy in Hooke has been nominated for a BBC Food And Farming Award. It is one of three finalists in the Farming for the Future category of the awards. Hollis Mead is an organic dairy farm whose ethos is to produce high quality organic milk and food whilst enhancing the environment for wildlife. Nature is allowed to take its course and no pesticides, insecticides, herbicides or artificial fertilisers are used. The farm has 12 miles of hedges and is seeing a rise in insect and bird life gone up dramatically – all being monitored by Dorset Wildlife Trust. Oliver Hemsley, co-owner of Hollis Mead, said: “It’s fantastic to be recognised for our work – I’m very appreciative and I hope it will encourage people to come and at least have look.
