A Spring Like No Other

Available for over a year

How are our most thoughtful and insightful farmers coping with a period when we need good home-grown food more than ever? Caz Graham pays a virtual visit to the farms of some of our favourite recent On Your Farm guests. Ulverston mixed farmer Will Case explains how the market for his beef and eggs has been turned upside down in lockdown and introduces us to his temporary new workforce, pictured above, who are enjoying helping on the farm rather than lessons at school. Sam Moorhouse tells us how his Yorkshire Skyr, an Icelandic style dairy product made from the dairy herd’s milk at Hesper Farm in the Yorkshire Dales is doing booming business and tapping into new markets despite lockdown. And Maria Benjamin from Nibthwaite Grange Farm by Coniston Water in the Lake District tells us how their portfolio of microbusinesses is coming into its own and helping the farm weather the coronavirus storm.
