The Kids That Took Over the Farm

Back in 2015, before their youngest child had even left school, farmer David McVeigh and his wife Sharon decided to start handing over the reins to their three children, to look after their own enterprises. For On Your Farm, Anna Hill was there to hear what they were undertaking: glamping, organising weddings, starting a cookery school, running their own herd of longhorn cattle, and managing crops on the 450 acres of arable land.

Eleven years on, David says he’s not in charge of the farm anymore, and Anna is back with the family in Suffolk, to hear how they got along.

The journey of the last decade has brought the children closer together through disaster and success, as they figure out how a relatively small farm can support all of them, and their children too.
