Details
The true story of one family and the English Countryside. Farming hadn't come naturally to Richard Benson, so after a childhood spent crashing tractors and being outwitted by various farmyard animals he's fled to London to become a journalist. Then one morning the call came, the news that after two hundred years of farming in Yorkshire the Benson family were being forced to sell up, and he found himself propelled back into a forgotten world of runaway pigs, love among the haystacks and men who wrestled bulls to prove a point. The Farm tells the painful, funny, uplifting story of how big business is changing the face of the English countryside forever and how one family in particular adapted to the challenges of a new life after being forced to give up their birthright.
