In case you missed our previous posting, the BBC are currently seeking participants for an exciting new Smallholding/Farming series to be shown on BBC2. There is still time, just, to apply so if think you could fit the bill and be one of the couples they are seeking, apply now by sending an email with your name to:

farm@splashmediatv.co.uk

an application form will then be emailed out to you. The deadline for applications is 28th April 2010. Good luck!

The series will feature ten couples or pairs (married couples / siblings / friends etc.) who would like to grasp the opportunity to change their lives forever and run a farm/small holding. The programme will see the ten couples learn all the basics they need before decamping to a farm in the beautiful British countryside where they will be challenged in all areas of farm life, from animal husbandry to coping with the unpredictable summer weather.

They are looking for couples of all ages and relationships (married couples / siblings / friends etc.) who are serious about wanting to change their lives and who will relish farm life. Whether it’s a love of animals, a passion for gardening, an interest in sustainability and food provenance or a general lust for all things outdoors, they want to hear from anyone who thinks they’ve got what it takes to take on this lifestyle-transforming project.

They are especially looking for people who may already have some experience in working or volunteering with animals, food or nature, just some kind of demonstrated interest that would make them a credible and hopefully successful small holding partnership.

The series will culminate in the winning pair getting the opportunity to live and work on their own small farm.
