When one of Australia’s most discerning food critics, Matthew Evans, swapped his city life to have a go at small farm living in Tasmania, he really put to the test his primary belief that people should be directly connected with their food: either by growing it, rearing it, or sourcing it from local producers. So when a new property comes on the market a mere ten minutes’ drive from Puggle Farm, Matthew believes it is an opportunity not to be missed. He decides to make a considerable investment to upscale his business and shake up his family’s current livelihood. The new series of GOURMET FARMER is the story of Matthew, Sadie and little Hedley taking on the challenge of making their new farm work.
