The Miltons have farmed on Exmoor for six generations. We meet the next generation, Chris and Tim, working on the family's mixed farm with their fathers Robin and Rex.
The Milton family farm cattle, sheep, Exmoor ponies, and arable crops on the patchwork of land which makes up Exmoor National Park. Brothers Robin and Rex are the fifth generation of their family to farm, and two of their sons, Chris and Tim, are following suit. They are in the in the fortunate 50% of farms to have a successor to take over the business.
Produced and Presented by Sarah Swadling.
