Ημερομηνία προβολής: Οκτ 06, 2019

Helen Skelton is in Buckinghamshire reaping nature’s bounty for a harvest festival and learning about the history of harvesting and the traditions surrounding it – from the introduction of the threshing machine to the origins of the corn dolly. We’ll also be digging into the Countryfile archive to revisit the times we’ve got stuck in to help harvest our country’s varied produce - like the time Matt Baker discovered Jersey Royal potatoes are still unearthed in the same way they were 200 years ago, and when Adam Henson explored the newest techniques used to grow our fruit, meaning it’s ripe and ready all year round.
