The Moo Man – review

The wonderfully relaxed farmer Stephen Hook puts a human, articulate face on the vexing subject of food production

As an advert for steering clear of supermarket milk, this is hard to beat. Stephen Hook – a wonderfully relaxed on-camera presence – makes for a charismatic master of ceremonies; he's a dairy farmer with a homemade retail operation selling "raw" milk who has managed to make his family farm pay, just about. Hook may be the fantasy-farmer of townies' fantasies – ruminative, canny, genial and wistfully affectionate to his animals – but he puts a human, articulate face on the vexed, and vexing, subject of food production. A low-key pleasure.
