Documentary series following three families with no experience of farming who volunteer to spend their summer living and working on a north Wales hill farm.

Three families with no experience of farming volunteer for the adventure of a lifetime as they agree to spend their summer living and working on a north Wales hill farm in the shadow of Snowdonia. Moving into a purpose-built yurt village, complete with chicken coop, vegetable plot and pigpen, they will learn what it takes to run a farm and feed a nation. Their mentors are the farm's owner Gareth Wyn Jones and presenter Kate Humble (who also has her own Welsh farm), both of whom will be on hand to help them in all aspects of hill farming, from gathering sheep for shearing, through to training sheepdogs and selling ewes at market. They have been thrown in at the deep end - it is hard work in all weathers with early mornings and long hours - but will the reality of country living live up to their dreams of rural life?
