Next Episode of Escape to the Farm with Kate Humble is
unknown.
Series following life at the presenter's farm in Monmouthshire, where she has been growing produce and breeding livestock for the past 10 years.
Kate looks to secure the future of the farm, not just for th animals, but for wildlife as well. She and Farmer Tim are hopping to create the perfect habitat for curlews, whose numbers have been in serious decline for many years. Kate also explores the slimy wildlife at the bottom of a large pond on the farm.
A decade ago, Kate took on the task of saving her little Monmouthshire farm from the threat of being broken up and sold off and now she is renewing her efforts to secure the farm's future for the long term. She's on the hunt for innovative methods to make her business pay, visiting a farm in Shropshire that faced many of the same challenges she encountered.
Kate focuses on her cattle to see if she can maximise her returns from her herd, and wants to learn all that is involved in getting the animals ready to compete in agricultural shows as prize-winning cattle command bigger prices. Back at the farm, Kate has a massive job on her hands renewing the fencing at the northern edge, then hikes up the highest mountain in southern Britain with a delicious breakfast cooked outdoors at the end as a reward.
Kate focuses on her flock of 300 sheep. Their fleeces can fetch as little as 60p each at today's prices, so she's determined to see if she can find a more profitable way to sell her wool.
