Creating a Farm from Nothing

Meet the young farmers who had no land or farming background and little money but created a beef business in just two years and say others could do likewise. With Caz Graham.

Some might say starting a farming business without land, an agricultural background or much capital is impossible. But David and Bekka Corrie-Close had other ideas . Can passion, determination, some community knowledge and a bright idea replace those? In just 2 years they've gone from nothing to tending a herd of beef cattle in Cumbria, providing tasty returns to investors. They also say their 'farming with nature' strategy beautifies and nurtures the environment. Caz Graham meets the young entrepreneurs to find out how they've done it and ask if others around the country could do the same.

Produced by Anne-Marie Bullock.
