The BBC are on the look-out to find three UK families who will take on a challenge of living and working in a remote farm.
The BBC One Wales and BBC Two series, with the working title The Family Farm, will be shown next spring.
The programme will test three families who think they’ve got what it takes to be full-time farmers.
Filming will take place at Welsh hill farmer Gareth Wyn Jones’s farm in Llanfairfechan in August, who will be presenting the show with Kate Humble.
The families will live side-by-side in a purpose-built camp, working together on some tasks and competing against each other as they try to convince a panel of expert judges they can handle the good life.
Presenter Kate Humble has made the move to the country herself, leaving the city behind to live and work on a small holding in the Wye Valley. She’ll be on hand to keep an eye on the contestants and judge their efforts.
Gareth Jones has farming in his blood. His family have farmed in the Carneddau mountains for over 350 years. He will guide the families through each of the challenges but warns he’s as a tough taskmaster who won’t go easy on his new apprentices.
Every week Kate and Gareth will be joined by a guest judge - an experienced farmer, a food producer or a top chef.
Together they’ll assess and judge each of the families on how well they perform in each task.
The series is being produced by Folk Films and the closing date for applications is 11 June. To apply email familyfarm@folkfilms.tv or phone 02920 727 801.
