Profile:

Richard Harrison left school to take on a dairy farm and has grown it into a successful and diverse rural enterprise, including food production, food processing, commercial and residential property and a residential care farm.

His organic food is now supplied across the UK and his business works in conjunction with The Country Trust and the RSPB.

Mr Harrison has recently founded a residential care farm, with a care provider, and is working to provide care and vocational training, including animal assisted therapy, to young people. He hopes to extend a care provision to other sectors of the community.

His interests include Latin American dancing - he is a past cha cha cha national champion - music from the swinging 60s through rock and jazz to modern pop and playing the drums (he regrets not having the time to be in a band). He is a national debating finalist and enjoys judging from time to time.

He was born in 1975 and is married to Rachael. They are expecting their first child in October.
