Claire McCollum introduces favourite harvest hymns from Jubilee Farm in County Antrim, Northern Ireland’s first Christian, community-owned farm. With wellies on, Claire joins staff and volunteers to lend a hand during the busy harvest season. Nestled on 13.5 acres, the farm is home to pigs, sheep, goats, fruit trees and vibrant wildflowers, all nurtured by a dedicated team. Claire talks to Dr Matt Williams, the farm's conservation manager, to learn how scripture shapes their approach to working the land.\n \nJubilee Farm also supports vulnerable individuals through hands-on opportunities, and Claire meets Sunny, an asylum seeker from Nigeria, who shares how volunteering at the farm has renewed his sense of hope and belonging. Whilst on the farm, Claire also learns the centuries-old craft of making a St Brigid’s cross out of rushes, a symbol of one of Ireland’s patron saints.\n \nThere’s a great selection of hymns and music from across Northern Ireland and beyond, including harvest favourites:\n \n1. All Things Bright and Beautiful - Guildhall, Londonderry\n2. All Creatures of Our God and King - Our Lady's Church, York\n3. We Plough the Fields and Scatter - Long Melford, Suffolk\n4. 10,000 Reasons - Pontio Arts Centre, Bangor\n5. Aaronic Blessing - Celtish\n6. Morning Has Broken - Down Cathedral, Downpatrick\n7. Great Is Thy Faithfulness - St Macartin's Cathedral, Enniskillen
