Welcome to the home of Adam Henson. Cotswold Farm Park was opened in 1971 by
Adam's father Joe to help protect some of our rare breeds of farm animal. Aged
30, Joe Henson and his old school friend John Neave take over the tenancy of
Bemborough Farm, then owned by Corpus Christi College, Oxford. Short of capital,
in the short term they needed to devise a low capital farming system and so
began growing barley, with a few commercial sheep for the rough banks. The
Conservation Area of the Farm Park is opened, with a guest appearance from Ellie
Harrison. Countryfile celebrates its 25th anniversary on our television screens
and Adam teams up with celebrity chef Nigel Slater on ‘Nigel and Adam’s Farm
Kitchen’, where they join forces to show the process of producing and cooking
Britain’s favourite foods.
