Adam heads to Leicestershire to meet three generations of the Eggleston family, who have been producing milk for the local Stilton cheese dairy for over a century.

In a series of four special Countryfile episodes, Adam Henson meets multigenerational farming families. He gets a glimpse into their daily lives, exploring the challenges they face, the traditions they uphold, and the innovative methods they embrace to keep their farms thriving.

Adam’s journey starts in Leicestershire, with three generations of the Egglestons. Their family has been producing milk for the local Stilton cheese dairy for over a hundred years and still do, every single day. Adam finds out how their traditional values are helping drive a modern, pasture-led system.

Along the way, Adam also takes a look back through the Countryfile archives to revisit other remarkable farming families across the UK.
