National Trust: Our Dream Farm with Matt Baker S2E3: Episode 3

Overview

Matt Baker and the National Trust are searching for a new tenant for a 600-acre dream farm in the spectacular Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park in North Wales. Along with fields, woodland and mountain pasture, the farm comes with a beautiful four-bed farmhouse, holiday letting accommodation, views of Wales's highest mountain - Yr Wyddfa - and access to a spectacular lake. Seven applicants living and working on the farm take on tasks designed to prove their skills with livestock, passion for conservation and ability to run a successful business if they're chosen to take on the tenancy. Who will Eryri General Manager Trystan Edwards and the National Trust's Land and Estates Director, Giles Hunt, choose to win the life-changing 15-year tenancy of this incredible farm? At the end of the first week on the farm, it's time for one applicant to leave the process. But first, the hopefuls must prove their livestock handling skills when they're challenged to bring a herd of Welsh Black cattle in from the field, split off a one-tonne bull and safely administer some vitamins. They must also demonstrate their head for business as they present their visions for the farm to Giles and Trystan. From their finances to their ideas about sheep, cattle and welcoming tourists, all essential elements of making a viable business on the farm will be scrutinised. Who'll impress the most and be appointed the next temporary farm manager, and who'll be the first to leave?
