Series 7: 8. Ripley Farmers' Market



Tracey and Graham only became farmers 13 years ago, and in that time have invested everything to establish their thriving goat herd. They need to earn a living from their homemade goat’s cheese and soap, so Ripley Farmers’ Market in Surrey is a vital lifeline. Run by volunteers, this village market has not only won awards but gives them out, and Tracey and Graham receive some surprise news. \n\nMeanwhile, young farmer Ellie is pulling out the stops to support the family business and has to go it alone on market day for the first time, as mum Penny and partner Nigel are needed on the farm. With a few hundred kilos of home-reared beef, pork and chicken in tow, Ellie’s under pressure to get ready on time, win over her customers and bank plenty of sales.
