大象传媒

Adam Henson and fellow judge Mike Gooding meet the first of this year's 大象传媒 Food and Farming awards 'Farmer of the Year' finalists.

They join Luke Hasell on his farm in Chew Magna and take a tour of his 550 acre farm. Luke farms organic beef cattle and collaborates with local farmers to provide vegetable and meat boxes for customers in and around Bristol and Bath. He runs a company called 'The Story' and he aims to connect his customers with where their food comes from.

He also runs a community farm which allows volunteers to come and work on the land and he regularly welcomes school children onto his farm tom teach them more about food production.

His business is successful and he is a huge advocate of the whole 'field-to-fork' ethos and regularly stages food events and takes part in pop-up restaurants and local food festivals throughout the South West.

Adam and Mike take a look around Luke's farm and follow his produce from the muddy vegetable beds overlooking the picturesque Chew Valley Lake, via his pack house where a small army of volunteers fill vegetable boxes, to one of his customers: Josh Eggleton, Michelin-starred chef at the nearby Pony and Trap pub.
