A Rare Breed

A Rare Breed

"Rare Breed" is a unique 12-part series that follows 16 Northern Irish farming families across a whole year. The series reflects the working lives on a range of local farms. Working hand-in-hand with nature and the weather we see how young and old share in the seasonal rhythm which brings food from the soil to the kitchen table.
