Title: Win the opportunity to live and work on your own small farm for a year.
Post by: detailista on April 21, 2010, 11:20:36
I received this in my staff newsletter

Thinking about a rural idyll?

A new BBC farming and small holding series is looking for ten couples who would like to grasp the opportunity to change their lives forever and run a farm or small holding. You’ll learn all the basics before decamping to a farm in the beautiful British countryside where you’ll be challenged in all areas of farm life, from animal husbandry to coping with the unpredictable summer weather. The winning pair will get the opportunity to live and work on their own small farm.

 

Send an email with your name to farm@splashmediatv.co.uk for an application form. The deadline for applications is 28 April 2010.

Good luck anyone who fancies it!   :D

Sadly the link is just the e-mail address (if you use internet explorer e-mail and most of us do not) and gives no info at all.
