Countryfile kicks off a new four-part series this Sunday, July 6, at 7:05 PM on BBC Two, with Adam Henson introducing viewers to multi-generational farming families across the UK. The first stop: Leicestershire, where he meets The Egglestons, a family who have been producing milk for local Stilton cheese for over a century.
This episode is a look at how traditional values shape modern agricultural practices. Adam explores how the Egglestons’ long-standing heritage drives their current pasture-led dairy system. It’s a blend of old and new, showing how deep roots can nourish innovative growth.
Beyond the Egglestons, Adam will also revisit other farming families previously featured on Countryfile, providing updates on their lives and operations. The series aims to bring the challenges and triumphs of contemporary British farming into focus, along with the ingenuity farmers employ to keep their businesses thriving.
Countryfile: Adam’s Farming Families – The Egglestons airs Sunday, July 6, at 7:05 PM on BBC Two.
