Sarah Mayor

Sarah Mayor is the daughter of Roger and Mary Mead, who started Yeo Valley at Holt Farm in 1961 with 30 cows and the odd sheep. Mary opened a tea room and the clotted cream they made for it meant there was lots of skimmed milk left over. So they tried making yogurt . . . and people seemed to like it. They still do – and the Mead family is still living and working at Holt Farm today. She is the author of The Great British Farmhouse Cookbook.
