Summary
COI synopsis: Barbara Ewing visits a city farm that is just one of several springing up in inner cities in Britain, to enable kids who would not otherwise get a chance to learn about "country matter". While she is there she meets fellow antipodean, Rolf Harris, who’s one of the Farm’s biggest supporters.

Includes interviews with Patrick Clint, farm committee member and visitor Rolf Harris who talks about the mural children painted at the farm. NB: Information drawn from the Australian version
