Episode Summary
In this episode, host Anita Rani ventures to Fernhill Farm, where Andy, Jen, and their sons have been curating a musical extravaganza for an astounding 18 years. Anita joins the family as they prepare to transform their farm into a bustling festival ground, where music enthusiasts from all walks of life gather to enjoy the harmonious blend of nature and artistry.
As the festival preparations unfold, Anita collaborates with festival organizer Kev to fashion unique seating arrangements for the festival-goers using wool sourced from the farm’s own sheep. The farm’s rich resources are ingeniously repurposed to craft giant sofas, enhancing the rustic ambiance of the event.
Venturing further into the farm’s daily operations, Anita teams up with the industrious 18-year-old son, Kyle, as he lends a hand in the farm café kitchen. There, hundreds of campers are in for a treat with a mutton curry crafted from the farm’s own produce.
The episode also delves into the innovative waste water cleaning system at Fernhill Farm – a series of lakes that not only ensure purity but also serve as a sanctuary for endangered white claw crayfish. Through the lens of the Countryfile archive, the episode transports viewers to a tranquil outdoor performance of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ ‘Lark Ascending,’ showcasing the longstanding connection between rural life and music.
