Acorn Media Tales From The Green Valley
Description
Turning the clock back over 400 years, five archaeologists and historians take on the challenge of running a farm for a year, as it was when King James 1 ruled the land.Working without electricity, refrigeration, mains water, tractors or chemical pesticides, the group live off the land, eating the food they grow and wearing the clothes they create. They cope with a plethora of natural challenges - with 400-year-old manuals as their source of knowledge.Each episode focuses on a month in the life of the farm, following the seasonal tasks, from harvesting and building, to birthing calves and pigs, from salting and smoking meat to sheep shearing and garment making as they travel back to a forgotten time.Special Features:A 1620 Farm CalendarA Picture GalleryJames 1 BiographyProduction NotesUnseen Footage
