Starring role on Countryfile for Tebay farm this weekend

Eden farmer Andrea Meanwell and her son Hector are set to feature in four episodes of BBC’s popular Countryfile series.

The first episode will be broadcast on Easter Sunday.

The farm at Low Borrowbridge, Tebay, has been selected as a seasonal hub for Countryfile and TV crews were at the farm last week.

Andrea – who is also an author and farming officer for the Lake District National Park Authority – said she did not know exactly what would appear on Countryfile, but the film crew captured images including the erection of fencing to form areas for tree planting, the creation of riparian strips to support otters and red squirrels and the rearing of dairy calves.

Shots were also taken of Andrea doing some of her work for the park authority.

The crew also filmed some of the Rough Fell sheep, so the nation could learn that the Herdwick is not the only sheep breed native to Cumbria.

Alongside their Rough Fells, Andrea and Hector also keep Welsh Hill Speckled Face ewes, as well as several dozen Ouessant females.

Lambing takes place outdoors in early April on their farm.

The couple also keep a small herd of Aberdeen Angus suckler cows.

Andrea’s husband Anthony works off the farm, while their son Hector manages most of the day-to-day running of the holding.

They moved to Low Borrowbridge in the spring of 2018 and the farm is a currently mixture of owned and rented land totalling almost 300 acres.
