We're delighted that Lutfi and Ruby Radwan of Willowbrook Farm will be appearing in the latest series of Ben Fogle's New Lives in the Wild on Channel 5. Over the past 20 years, Lutfi and Ruby have transformed a vacant plot of land into a thriving, multi-generational farm, with responsible stewardship and sustainability at its heart. As first generation farmers, it's been a steep learning curve, but one that should inspire us all. As the family attest, "It is only by taking responsibility together that we can hope to make a positive change." You can find out more about the Radwan family's journey at 9pm, Tuesday February 22nd and also catch up on My5.
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids - new More4 series
We're thrilled to announce a new ob-doc series from Leeds-based Wise Owl Films following ‘Yorkshire Shepherdess’ Amanda Owen and her family as they renovate a derelict farmhouse. Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids charts the Owens’ journey to breathe life back into a derelict neighbouring property they bought to plan for the family’s future. The series sees Amanda, Clive and their nine children work with a team of local tradespeople to slowly bring their ambitious vision for the farmhouse - known locally as Anty John’s - to life, tackling the changing seasons and challenging elements along the way, as well as getting to grips with the nature of restoring a listed property in a remote location. Cameras also follow Amanda as she digs deep into the farmhouse’s past and reveals the fascinating part its former owners played in local history. The series was commissioned by Channel 4 in a deal secured via Jo Cantello of Wolfsong Media, Amanda Owen's agent. TX dates to be announced soon.
