Turning milk into artisan ice cream to battle UK's dairy crisis

With milk prices finally starting to recover, things should be looking up for the United Kingdom’s beleaguered dairy farmers.

Britain’s milk producers have suffered the longest and deepest market downturn in living memory.

Many dairymen were driven out of the industry after suffering huge losses and others took to the streets in protest to highlight their plight.

Award-winning dairy farmer Jeremy Holmes says the market is starting to recover.

Jeremy, who was recently named farmer of the year by the Yorkshire Post, has sought to improve his own plight by turning some of his milk into artisan ice cream and by selling raw milk direct to consumers from the farm gate.
