Victorian Farm- My new favorite show
I recently discovered the BBC series Victorian Farm and Edwardian Farm thanks to a quick mention by Jenna Woginrich on her blog, coldantlerfarm. If you're into historical reenactment, farm history, or domestic-skills history, you should check it out. Unfortunately, since it's a BBC program (or should I say programme) you can't buy the DVDs in a version that will function on American DVD players. Luckily, most of the episodes are available on YouTube. It can be a little tricky hunting down all the separate sections (each episode is broken into four 15-minute segments), but it's worth the hunting.

Love both of these series! When I was in England this summer we planned to go to Acton Farm but sadly I got sick that day so we never made it.
ReplyDeleteHi Daedre,
ReplyDeleteI have always had an appreciation for anything produced by BBC because, in my opinion, they’ve got the sophistication that’s lacking in Hollywood products. Furthermore, being as passionate about gardening as I am, any historic depiction about farms and farming sounds like something I’d enjoy.
Thanks for your post and the sample video which I watch twice and definitely intend to look for the show’s other episodes.
