If supporting British Farmers and increasing biodiversity whilst eating delicious, award-winning cheese is what you’re after, look no further. Deliciously Regenerative isn’t just Golden Hooves’ strapline, it’s at the core of everything they do. Driven by First Milk’s co-operative of 700 farmers, who will carry out a whopping 260,000 regenerative interventions on farms this year, Golden Hooves is working to protect the soil surface, lock carbon away, reverse biodiversity loss and treat animals with kindness. All farmers sign a pledge and are monitored using pioneering scientific research; this really is a brand that does what it says.

- Golden Hooves and First Milk won the King's Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development in 2023.
