3. The Family Farm

What’s it like to farm in the UK? That’s something three families will experience, with absolutely not experience in farming at all. These families all have one thing in common: They want a better work-life balance.

Throughout six episodes, you’ll watch as the three inner-city families take to live in North Wales. They’ll be thrown out of their comfort zones, pushed into weather they never expected to experience. And it’s everything they need to realize what they truly want to achieve and want out of life.

Start streaming The Family Farm on Jan. 6.
