Back to the Land with Kate Humble Series 2
Episode 6 of 12

Kate meets rural cider entrepreneur Tom, who created a company out of a genuine passion for the alcoholic apple elixir, as he takes on his biggest harvest yet.

Back to the Land returns to Cornwall following innovative businesses through the busiest periods of the year and gaining an insight of the challenges they face. Kate meets rural cider entrepreneur Tom, who created a company out of a genuine passion for the alcoholic apple elixir, as he takes on a monumental harvest, the largest in the history of this seven-year-old business. Will it be the last time he will press the apples using traditional methods, or will Tom be forced to succumb to having machinery installed to meet demand and grow the business?

Kate also gets hands-on with Shonna and Ben, who propagate their own herbs and flowers before distilling them into essential oils for the perfumery trade. Ex-city workers Richard and Fionagh yearned for a more rural life. The novices took on a 350-acre farm and a drove of pigs they needed to make money from. Six years of struggle later they have a thriving artisan charcuterie business.

And we meet a local carpenter capitalising on his passion for surfing and Cornwall's growing reputation for the sport, to produce bespoke hand-crafted surf boards using wood harvested sustainably in the UK.
