Anna Louise Claydon explores Jimmy's Farm - 230 acres of land just outside Ipswich owned by Jimmy Doherty, who is best known for the TV series documenting his first-time farming journey over the past two decades. His vision is all about using traditional, free-range, sustainable meat production practices, rearing British rare breeds. Not only is the land a working farm, but it's also a popular wildlife park and tourist attraction. Anna reflects on her childhood memories of the farm shop, and Jimmy shows her where they'll be expanding their rare breed livestock. They search the hedgerows and woodlands as they walk, looking for signs that nature is thriving - a real passion of Jimmy's. Anna finds out how he transformed the once abandoned and overgrown land, despite raised eyebrows among local people. Over at the animal kitchen, Anna joins Head Ranger Tom Chapman at feeding time. She finds out how Tom and the team juggle looking after both farm livestock and exotic species in the wildlife park - and hears about the lessons they've learnt along the way. Anna catches up with Jimmy in the piglet paddocks, to find out how Jimmy became a TV farmer and ask about his hopes for the next twenty years and beyond.

Produced and Presented by Anna Louise Claydon.
