Back to the Land is in the south of the country, starting in Hampshire with ex-marketing manager Emma and her business partner and shepherdess Suzie, who have teamed up with the ambition to produce the best woolen yarn in the UK. With neither women having drawn a salary in seven years Kate joins them at a tricky point as they need to expand whilst staying true to their artisan roots. Also, Kate gets hands on with ex chef Richard, the largest exotic mushroom grower in his region, who grows his mushrooms in two shipping containers on the edge of the New Forest. We meet a husband and wife team farming in a way that staggers their harvest, allowing them to provide their vegetable boxes all year round on the Isle of Wight. And we visit a carpenter who uses wood sourced from the New Forest to produce rustic and natural looking furniture, processing the wood in a traditional way and leaving it with its rustic edges means each piece is unique.
