Izzi is a young farmer who has taken over the family beef business from her 80-year-old father. In this film, we see Izzi adapting to a new reality, as changes to farming subsidies come in to effect following Brexit. In order to make enough money to future-proof her farm, she is diversifying the family business, running a homeware design company on the farm and working in her local shop to cover her bills, while feeding and caring for her herds of highland cows every day.

Her latest idea is a shipping container which she’s turning into a workshop for visitors for farm experience days. Will people come and get hands-on with her highland cattle, cleaning and grooming the animals and learning what it takes to look after them? Or will she need to go back to the drawing board and think up some new ideas about what she can do to stay afloat? Show less
