Mucking out and mucking in: fancy a new life as a farmer?
Rachel Evans
Series Producer
Want to find out what it’s really like living and working on a busy hillside farm?
If you long to escape the city for a change of scene, or want to know if your passion for food can earn you a living, this is your chance!
Over the course of three weeks in August 2017, your new home could be a working farm in beautiful Snowdonia.
Under the watchful and expert eyes of farmers and presenters Kate Humble and Gareth Wyn Jones, you’ll face the challenge of making a living from the land and the 24/7 responsibility that comes with managing livestock and food production on Gareth’s family farm in the Carneddau mountains.
We’re looking for families who are fired up and ready for a change from the usual routine.
We’ll make four one-hour long programmes - to be shown on BBC Television and BBC iPlayer next Spring.
Our cameras will follow life on the farm as you set up home together in a purpose-built yurt camp, and start taking full responsibility for the pigs, cattle, poultry and sheep.
You’ll live in close quarters with other families and face daily challenges which will test your new skills and attitude to farm life.
You’ll get plenty of support from Kate, Gareth and the wider farming community along the way, but this will also be a test in a tough profession and an unique opportunity to realise your dreams and ambitions as a farmer and food producer. No previous experience necessary!
We’d love to hear from you if you dream of a simpler life in the country and are interested in spending a life-changing few weeks on a hillside farm in Snowdonia.
