National Trust: Our Dream Farm with Matt Baker S2E5: Episode 5

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 live and work on the farm as they take on tasks designed to prove their skills with livestock and with business, and their passion for conservation. 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? The five remaining applicants get to grips with the spectacular natural beauty that surrounds the farm, as they head to the summit of Yr Wyddfa and to a glorious picnic area near the farm's lake to work with a team of National Trust rangers on the footpaths. Moving stories emerge as we discover how much this place means to all of the hopefuls. Next, their livestock judging skills are put to the test as they're asked to select a breeding ram for the farm's flock of Welsh mountain sheep, before Giles and Trystan reveal which of the applicants have impressed them the most. Who'll be the next temporary farm manager, and who'll be next to leave?
