Humax TV Tonight: Escape To the Country with Kate Humble sees Kate tend to her Sheep

Escape to the Farm with Kate Humble is on Channel 5 tonight at 7.30pm. In this episode, Kate's focusing on her flock of 300 sheep, whose fleeces could fetch as little as 60p each at today’s prices.

She’s determined to see if she can find a cleverer, more profitable way to sell her wool, and meets up with two inspirational women on a farm in Hampshire who have found a way to increase the value of their wool a hundredfold. They have developed their own special breed of sheep, and they also spin the wool and colour it to produce their own deluxe knitting yarn.

On the farm, Kate’s creating a dedicated home for 250,000 new arrivals: a muddy corner of a field is transformed into a beautiful wild flower meadow, with a beehive shelter made with wood specially milled by Farmer Tim.

Out in the countryside, Kate shares her favourite bluebell wood walk. On the open fire, she’s cooking up a one pot chicken casserole and a simple, but exotic-sounding courgette, artichoke and burrata panzanella.
