The Farmers' Country Showdown: Series 6: Lewes Farmers Market

Lewes Farmers Market

Series 6

BBC One - The Farmers' Country Showdown, Series 6, Lewes Farmers Market

Farmers try to sell their meat products at Lewes Farmers Market in Sussex.

Two farming couples brave the elements at Lewes Farmers Market in Sussex in the hope that customers will turn up to buy their quality meat.

Owena and Ivan are so enthusiastic about farming life that they want other people to experience it too! As well as running workshops using wool from their flock of Shetland sheep, they also produce slow-grown lamb, known as hogget. A lifeline for selling direct to customers is the award-winning Lewes Farmers Market in East Sussex. It’s also an important income stream for local cattle farmers Maxine and Ivan, who are literally building their farm from scratch. Having sold their house to buy a plot of land, they are living in a mobile home and dream of moving into their permanent house in the future. Although the farmers market is always worth the hard work, this time the Great British weather does its best to make the day a wash-out rather than a sell-out.
