BBC Two - Back to the Land with Kate Humble, Series 2, Episode 4

Kate Humble visits gouda producers, an alpaca farm, a gin distillery and a seafood cafe.

We're back in Cornwall to visit Giel, who decided to turn his grandmother’s gouda cheese recipe into a business. Kate also meets with a couple who set up an alpaca farm in the Cornish countryside.

This episode takes us back to Cornwall to meet a rural pioneer Giel, who came home from college to find his family’s dairy farm up for sale. His parents had hit financial difficulty and were being forced to sell up. With farming in his blood, he couldn’t bear to see their passion fail, so he decided to turn his grandmother’s gouda cheese recipe into a business. Kate joins Giel at a crucial point of expansion which could save the family farm and double production to take this business mainstream.

Kate also meets with a couple who swapped Plymouth for the Cornish countryside. They set up one of the few alpaca farms in the UK that breeds them not just for wool, but for meat as well. We meet Tarquin, who aged 24 set up his own distillery using traditional methods to make gin. And finally, we meet a husband and wife team in Port Isaac, who don’t just catch crab and lobster for their customers - they cook it for them the very same day in their unique cafe.
