Series Summary
After a two-year absence from TV, Monty Don returns with a new hour-long, six-part series.
My Dream Farm follows Monty Don as he helps six different families to try to realise their dream of making a go of it by working the land. They're all determined to leave the rat race behind and transform their lives, but with few skills and no previous experience, it's going to be far from easy.
With over 40 years experience of farming, Monty is on hand to guide our novices through their first, tentative steps. Filmed throughout the farming year, My Dream Farm taps into the zeitgeist as more and more people dream of returning to the land.
The stories range from a family of five raising sheep on the Devon moors to a lone female farmer, breeding alpacas in Warwickshire. Two young cousins try to start a British flower farm in Kent and a family with three young children try their hand at self-sufficiency and chicken-keeping in Cornwall.
