As farmers work around the clock to get fresh vegetables from the field to our Christmas dinner plates, some producers are donating their food for free to provide more than 50,000 meals to needy people over the festive period. In this Christmas Day edition of On Your Farm, Anna Hill is in her home county of Norfolk to meet some of the 40 farmers who support The Buckingham Emergency Food Appeal. It is a charity which helps feed homeless people, and struggling families across East Anglia and Lancashire. Anna helps out by bagging up spuds in the packing shed of a farmer who gives around two tonnes of potatoes each year. She also freezes in the chill of -28 degrees centigrade as she shown some of the charities meat supplies including frozen chickens, turkeys, sausages and pies; and she visits a centre for homeless young people who benefit from the donations. This programme is presented by Anna Hill and produced in Birmingham by Angela Frain.
