Jimmy, a dedicated UK farmer, embarked on his remarkable journey over a decade ago by taking on a 100-acre leasehold farm just outside Ipswich. His inspiring story was later featured in a BBC2 series titled "Jimmy's Farm". Since then, his farm has flourished, now boasting an award-winning restaurant, a nature trail, a butterfly house, and numerous science and food festivals throughout the year.
In addition to his farm, Jimmy has made significant contributions to television, with recent credits including "Food Unwrapped", "Human Swarm", "EasterEgg's Live", "The Secret Millions", and "Jamie and Jimmy's Food FightClub" on Channel 4.
Jimmy's extensive television credits also include two series of the hit show "Jimmy's Food Factory" and "Jimmy and the Wild Honey Hunters" both for BBC1, "Jimmy's Global Harvest" for BBC2, and "Crop to Shop - Jimmy's Supermarket Secrets" for BBC1.
Jimmy's passion for nature and farming began at a young age. By the time he was 16, he had become the youngest ever Assistant Entomologist at the Mole Hall Wildlife Park in Walden. After earning a degree in Zoology, Jimmy worked at the Entomology Department at London's Natural History Museum before moving on to Coventry University, where he researched for a Doctorate in Entomology, established an insect laboratory, and taught Animal Ecology and Animal Philosophy to undergraduate students.
Jimmy has written three books and has developed a range of free-range food products called "Jimmy's Farmers Range", including a selection of chicken available at Ocado and a range of turkeys. His turkey won the prestigious "Best Christmas Premium Product" award at the "British Turkey Awards 2012" in the previous year.
