Episode 1
Return of the documentary following life at the presenter's farm in Monmouthshire, where she has been growing produce and breeding livestock for the past 10 years.

Later, Kate heads out foraging with Liz Knight, before cooking up a treat for Ludo - toad in the hole.
Episode 2
Kate joins Farmer Tim, his wife Sarah and their dog Taff to explore the area around the Welsh valley town of Blaina, where birthday boy Tim grew up. Back in the farm kitchen, Kate's cooking a vegetarian twist on a meaty classic - beet bourguignon, made with beetroot and plenty of red Burgundy wine.
Episode 3
It's lambing season on the Monmouthshire farm, and while Farmer Tim takes on the busy day shift in the lambing shed, Kate is up at 4am to deal with a dangerously problematic ewe. She also takes her Welsh sheepdog Teg for a hill climb to the Devil's Pulpit, with spectacular views of the Wye Valley.
Episode 4
Almost a decade after planting 1,000 trees around Kate's Monmouthshire farm, it's time to thin the young trees. She has brought her friend, Kate Mobbs-Morgan and her powerful Ardennes horse Kip, to clear the trees in a more traditional and forgiving way. In the kitchen, Kate starts the day with a poached duck egg with green chillies on a toasted crumpet, then cooks a hearty Italian-style woodsman's pasta with porcini mushrooms and pancetta.
Episode 5
Kate joins her friend and neighbour Rob Penn in his quest to plant a million trees on the hillsides of the Brecon Beacons, and takes a trip into the pine woods with forager Liz Knight.

Episode 6
The presenter shares some of her farm secrets and passions, starting with a pre-dawn walk with ornithologist Dr Steph Tyler to catch the magical birdsong before anyone has woken up. And in a hidden patch of woodland, Kate takes expert forager Liz Knight to hunt down a spring favourite, wild garlic.

The presenter is looking forward to warmer days and celebrates by kayaking down the River Wye with her friend and expert Graham Symmonds.
