Adam’s Farm – My Life on the Land

countryfile-adams-farm-adam-hensonIn 2001, Adam Henson was chosen from 3,500 applicants to become a presenter on Countryfile. Adam’s agricultural knowledge and open manner soon made him a popular figure and when the programme moved to its current Sunday evening slot in 2009, he began to present a weekly report from his own farm in the Cotswolds. There, the ups and downs of the farming calendar, as told in Adam’s straight-talking fashion, soon became one of the most popular parts of the programme as viewers watched him endure the stress of TB testing and his sadness at losing valuable cattle as well as the highs of spring lambing. This is the first book by Adam Henson, and it is an enthralling, first-person account of the drama, emotion and sheer hard work that is life on Adam’s Farm.

Co-written with Adam Henson
