Best Farm Entrepreneur of the Year: Yorvale ice cream
Yorvale dairy farm in Acaster Malbis, North Yorkshire wins this prestigious award in the Country Living, Waitrose and Farmers Guardian annual Made in Britain Awards.
Country Living magazine features local food producers every month - the Made in Britain Awards were launched by the magazine, together with Waitrose and Farmers Guardian, to reward those who are creating the best-quality and most innnovative foods, while keeping traditional skills alive. As winner of The Farmers Guardian Best Farm Entrepreneur Yorvale will receive £5,000 from Waitrose...
By the age of 22, Ian Buxton was managing Leeds University's herd of 120 dairy cattle. Two years later he had his own 80-acre dairy farm, rented from North Yorks County Council. Now, with the help of his wife Lesley, he's turning the milk from their 35-head Friesian herd into Yorvale ice cream. Its success has allowed them to buy the farm and increase the range to more than 25 ice cream flavours and 10 sorbets, sold in farm shops, independent retailers and - via their vans - direct to the public.
