Bunny Guinness's Smallholding

Anna Hill finds out how the garden designer Bunny Guinness manages to be almost self-sufficient on her eight-acre smallholding in Cambridgeshire.

Could you provide most of the food needed for your family from eight acres of land? Anna Hill meets the garden designer and Radio 4 Gardeners' Question Time panellist Bunny Guinness, who produces beef, pork, lamb and eggs on her smallholding in northern Cambridgeshire. Bunny talks frankly about rearing her animals, and despatching them in the field, with the help of her slaughterman Paul Smith. She says if she is going to eat meat then she should be responsible for the quality of the animal's life, and its death as well.

Produced and presenter by Anna Hill.
