Adam's Farming Families - The Egglestons
Season 2025
The first of four special editions in which Adam Henson meets multi-generational farming families to get a glimpse into their daily lives, exploring the challenges they face, the traditions they uphold, and the innovative methods they embrace to keep their farms thriving. Adam's journey starts in Leicestershire with the Egglestons, a family that has been producing milk for the local Stilton cheese dairy for more than a hundred years. Adam finds out how their traditional values are helping drive a modern, pasture-led system. Along the way, Adam also takes a look back through the Countryfile archives to revisit other remarkable farming families across the UK
Countryfile airs on BBC Two Northern Ireland HD at 7:05 PM, Sunday 6 July. (Subtitles, new.)
