Cannon Hall Farm has been chosen out of all the farms in the UK as the main host farm for a major television series – for the second year running.

Daisybeck Studios – famous for producing The Yorkshire Vet – selected Cannon Hall Farm, in Cawthorne to be the host farm for Springtime on The Farm, which focusses on the joys of Spring and the hard work the farming community puts in to capitalise on its most busy time of year.

Robert Nicholson said: “We’ve had an amazing time and made some lifelong friends, we really need people to show their support and watch the show. We’d love to be involved in a season three but it will all depend on viewing numbers.”

The farmers were brought to the attention of the production company thanks to their success with their own Facebook Live broadcasts – the Nicholson brothers and Dad Roger broadcast live on Facebook most mornings, with viewers from as far afield as America, Australia and New Zealand.
