It's time to hunker down with the animals, and some friends, as the Welsh winter reaches Kate's farm. There's a lot of hard work, but also many pleasures, as the cold takes hold.
Kate worries about the farm's finances as breeding season arrives. Will Ted the borrowed boar do the business with her sows? How many lambs are the ewes carrying? Kate goes foraging, bakes a chocolate cake and makes toad in the hole.
It is Farmer Tim's birthday and Kate joins him for a walk down memory lane. Tim reminisces about learning to farm on the surrounding hills and shares a photo of his younger days.
It's lambing season, and while farmer Tim takes on the busy day shift, Kate is up at 4am to deal with a dangerously problematic ewe. Later, expert forager Liz takes Kate on a hunt for some wild flavours.
Almost a decade after planting 1,000 trees around the farm it's time to thin the young trees. Kate asks for the help of her friend and her Ardennes horse, Kip. In the kitchen, Kate cooks a hearty Italian-style woodsman's pasta dish.
Kate joins her neighbour Rob who is planting a million trees on the hillsides of the Brecon Beacons, takes a trip into the pine woods with forager Liz and is up early to milk the goats, whose milk goes to make goat's cheese in Abergavenny.
Kate goes for a pre-dawn chorus walk with an ornithologist to hear the birdsong. She then takes expert forager Liz to hunt down wild garlic and in the farm kitchen, Kate uses rhubarb as a roasted accompaniment to grilled mackerel fillets.
Kate looks forward to warmer days and kayaks down the River Wye with her friend. Along the way they study the wildlife, disused bridges and glacial boulders. In the kitchen, she rustles up Welsh cakes, cooked on the hot plate.
Kate looks to secure the future of the farm, not just for the animals, but for wildlife as well. She and Tim hope to create the perfect habitat for curlews. Kate also examines the wildlife in a large pond on the farm.
