On Sunday, Kate Humble returns to Channel 5 for another installment of Escape to the Farm. This time, Humble’s focus turns to the practical application of sustainable energy in agriculture, specifically examining how one farm utilizes solar power. It’s a timely topic, as energy costs continue to rise and farmers seek innovative solutions.
Beyond the exploration of renewable energy, Escape to the Farm continues its ongoing chronicle of life at Humble’s own farm in Monmouthshire. For the past decade, she’s cultivated this land, raising livestock and growing produce, providing a firsthand perspective on the rewards and challenges of sustainable agriculture. This episode offers viewers a glimpse into her methods and the evolution of her farm over the years.
But it isn’t all farm-to-table discussions and solar panels. Humble takes a break from the farm to journey to mid-Wales, where she’ll observe the majestic sea eagles in their natural habitat. This segment adds a touch of wildlife exploration to the mix, highlighting the interconnectedness of farming, nature, and conservation.
Finally, no episode of Escape to the Farm would be complete without a visit to Humble’s outdoor kitchen. This week, she prepares a mouthwatering meal of meat skewers with flatbreads, followed by fresh mackerel. As always, the cooking segment emphasizes the use of seasonal ingredients and simple yet flavorful recipes.
Escape to the Farm with Kate Humble airs Sunday at 11:45 AM on Channel 5.
