In this 12 part documentary we’ll follow Sarah, a farmer in Buckinghamshire, and her son Rufus, a country-boy turned city-boy, month-by-month over the course of a year. Discover the challenges and joys of working life on a UK farm, and gain a new perspective of what farming on this scale is like.

Thanks George, glad you're enjoying the videos. Do let us know if there are things you think we should talk about!

This should be a tv documentary like farming life. It’s a real insight into the real world of smaller scale farming without the Hollywood touch. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming.

@@flankfarm One day, two years ago when I was in year 6.30am . I was off school (because I was ill),I was wondering what job I wanted, so I could pass the time despite being away from school, I just couldn't decide, then I stumbled across your channel and from there I decided to take up farming as my future. Thank you.

I recently started my own sheep farm. I’m so inspired by these videos because like your mom..I’m no spring chicken. The cold, the heat, I’ve just got to work through it and around it. Being fully disabled is pesky but I lift what I can, buy tools and have old tractors to help lift what I can’t. I can’t wrangle animals anymore and my sheep are 140-180kgs so I bribe them with grain to follow me and step lively so they don’t push me down. But I love it. My wife who six years ago said “NO FARM ANIMALS! WE’RE RETIRED!” Just hit me up to buy her 20 more goats for our back lot! I guess we’re in his together!

However, we wouldn’t do, what we do, if we didn’t have a heartfelt passion for it. I wish you’d make more videos outside this series...Cheers from the NEK (Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, USA)

Just what I was looking for, fascinating to me that Europeans are still able to afford to farm. Question : you said hay was 20 pounds a bale - are you talking large round or small 50pound bales? Also no one in England is allowed to complain about January until they’ve visited Canada in January :)

this is a very novice type breakdown of the occupation you were brought up on a farm and you come across like it's your first time ffs you don't know which stock is which you don't deserve to inherit the farm!
