Episode 9

Back to the Land is in Yorkshire where Kate meets the proud producers of the UK's very first skyr, a cheese which has been a Scandinavian favourite since the Viking era. Dairy farmer's son Sam spotted the potential in this new food trend. On a whim he went to Reykjavik to learn how to make it, then convinced his dad to invest £250k against the family farm to start up. With nationwide success in his sights Kate follows Sam as his production reaches an epic scale. Kate meets city baker come forager Mina, who has set up the only 100% gluten-free bakery in Leeds using ingredients she has foraged locally. We also meet a former chartered surveyor who moved back to his native Yorkshire when the credit crunch hit, using his redundancy money he rented a piece of land and took a punt on producing herb-fed poultry. And we meet a mum and former tax accountant turned smithy who has hit upon traditional blacksmithing techniques to design and produce decorative items for the home and garden.
