On Your Farm

Available for over a year

What do you do if your village's open space is being taken over by waist high brambles and scrub? In Brill, Buckinghamshire, a group of local people decided their common could only be restored through grazing by cattle. They set up a co-operative to own a small herd of cows which are looked after by an army of volunteers. Sarah Swadling meets the Brill Village Herd team and the Dexter cows, who are all named after wild flowers. Presented and Produced: Sarah Swadling.
