National Trust: Our Dream Farm with Matt Baker S2E6: Episode 6

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. This time, Eryri General Manager Trystan Edwards and the National Trust's Land and Estates Director, Giles Hunt, want to see whether the four remaining hopefuls have the skills to look after the rich mix of landscapes that make up the 600-acre farm. So they challenge them to tame invasive species, create new life from seeds, and prove that they can care for what is the National Trust's most nature-rich farm in Wales. Then it's off to the local livestock mart, where the potential tenants must demonstrate their ability to select, bid on and buy livestock in this fast and furious environment. Who will Giles and Trystan think has shown enough promise to stay, and who'll be leaving the farm for good?
