Series 6: 19. Guildford Farmers’ Market



Friends and livestock farming duo Ian and Luke are passionate about producing high quality meat, and a vital location for selling it is Guildford Farmers’ Market in Surrey. Ian is keen to use his hospitality background, attracting customers with cooking advice, and hopes that the warm weather will bring out the barbecuing buyers. This market is also important for John, a third-generation Sussex fruit farmer. As well as picking his finest fresh fruit, he also makes apple juice so he can pocket as many sales as possible. With over 1,000 customers expected, the farmers hope it will be a lucrative day away from their jobs at the farm.
