Farmer Dot is transforming her family farm into a staycation honeypot of yurts and shepherds' huts. Filmed in 2019 before Covid-19 restrictions.

Meet Farmer Dot – a sheepdog-training, quad-biking, goat-keeping whirlwind who is transforming her family’s Lancashire hill farm into an alternative staycation. Now she is facing her busiest summer ever – and is planning her most audacious visitor attraction yet - goat yoga.

This uplifting observational documentary, filmed over one summer in 2019 before Covid-19 restrictions, follows the adventures of Dot McCarthy as she tries to balance a burgeoning green holiday destination with the demands of a busy working farm.
