Lambing
Spring is a busy time of year for organic farmer Graeme Matravers. He has been delivering lambs, day and night, for the last couple of months!

Graeme runs Manor Farm at Long Whatton in North Leicestershire with his wife Vivienne. They took over farm in 1994 and as well as sheep, it's home to chickens, a beef herd, plus educational farm walks and a farm shop.

Manor Farm is featured every month on 'Farmhouse Breakfast' on BBC Radio Leicester's Good Morning Leicester with Ben Jackson.


In the video Lambing Graeme tells us about the lambing season and how he's tried to get local villagers involved to find out more about life on the farm.

However, he says it's a tough time for farming at the moment, even in the organic sector.
