Sometimes it really pays to have a good browse on the library shelves. You never know what's been added to the collection!Gourmet Farmer grabbed my attention. You know all those warnings about "Don't judge a book by it's cover"? Well, I judged this dvd rightly. Even the librarian told me that she'd heard it was an excellent watch. And it IS very interesting.
Matthew Evans decides to move from a prestigious job of Sydney's food critic to that of a farmer in Tasmania. He claims to know nothing about the goings on at a farm, and this proves true in the viewing. Just tonight (accidentally watching the second disc first!) we saw his first attempt at milking his newly acquired cow. By the end of it all he seems to have mastered the new skill okay to get by, working toward his goal of becoming a true artisan farmer.
ABC Shop sells the dvd. There's also a blog through the SBS site HERE. The language is a little coarse, but other than that it's good family viewing.

Milking is hard ~ much harder than it looks when done by an expert! ☺
You are right. This is really interesting. We watched the series when it was screened on ABC and couldn't miss an episode. I have a lot of admiriation for Matthew Evans now.
I have just changed my blog template and coming to read yours made me realise it is very similar to yours. We must have similar taste :)
Hope you don't mind.
Cee..x
Milking is tricky. I remember the first time I had a go at a school camp and how much fun it was doing something new and 'different'. I made sure my children each had a turn at the local show also.
Cee, of course I don't mind your template being similar. (smiles!!)
