    According to their Facebook About Page, they were founded on 4th March 1987, which make it 31 years.
    According to Wiki, they were founded in 1989, which would make it 29 years. (Wiki isn't always right)
    Their site says they have been making cereals for 27 years. (this could be an old comment)

    The article HERE says the cereals have been made in Dorset since 1989.
    So that's two votes for 29 years, I think I'll go with that.

    There is an FT article from June 2014 which says
    The brand was founded 26 years ago

    an article in the Independent has it as 1989
    Dorset Cereals has already come a long way from its humble beginnings in 1989 when it was founded by Terry Crabb as an alternative to the "rabbit food" options on the market.
