Snowdrop Season on the Farm


There is always something to be done on a farm, as evidenced here on the Trant family farms at Welshpool (Maesmawr Hall and Cefn Du) and Llandrindod (Esgairdraenllwyn, Llaithddu). There’s a fallen tree to chop up with a chainsaw, a fence post to be fashioned from a tree trunk, a wooden gate to hang, a hedge to lay with billhook and axe, and thirsty lambs to be bottle fed. Amongst the snowdrops, a young donkey exercises its lungs – viewers can provide the sound effect!
