Jubilee Farm is one of several farms starring in series 9 of Rare Breed on UTV (the Northern Irish version of ITV), airing from Tuesday 12th January at 19:30.
As well as highlighting a year in the life of Jubilee Farm – covering everything from science festival talks to camera trapping for otters, plus volunteering and care farming with refugees, through to good old fashioned pig/goat/vegetable farming – it’s a great opportunity to highlight the social and community enterprise model in relation to food and farming, and to promote sales via our new click-and-collect online shop which opened in January 2021. The series runs through to April 2021. There will be a number of environmental angles covered by Jubilee Farm in the series, including biodiversity, climate change, creation care and human ecology.
Dr Jonny Hanson, Managing Director Says:
In an era and season of disconnection, community farms provide connection – with ourselves, with our food, with each other and with the world around us. A year in the life of Jubilee Farm shows the ups, downs and significance of the community farming model for addressing the interlinked environmental, social and economic challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. Make sure to tune in!
