Mrs Dowsons, Clayton-le-Dale, has been named a finalist at the 2026 British Farming Awards in the categories of Large Diversification of the Year, Dairy Farmer of the Year, and Family Farming Business of the Year. The British Farming Awards celebrate the people, families and businesses helping shape the future of UK agriculture and dedication across the industry. Every ice cream produced by Mrs Dowsons begins with milk from the family’s own herd, while the farm has also expanded to include the popular Mrs Dowsons Farm Park, allowing thousands of visitors to experience life on a working farm. “Every scoop of Mrs Dowsons ice cream starts with milk from our own herd, but one of the things we’re most proud of is Mrs Dowsons Farm Park. The winners of the British Farming Awards will be announced at a ceremony at the VOX in Birmingham on October 15.
