Charlotte Smith hears that the first British cranberries are in the shops but asks why there haven't been home-grown cranberries before.

Charlotte Smith asks why haven't there been home-grown cranberries before? We've been eating them for decades, but now we can grow them too. Farming Today hear the first British cranberries are in the shops.

And a Happy Christmas from dairy cows in the Midlands and North East. Moos were recorded and digitally remastered into Christmas songs, now available as Mootunes ringtones. Charlotte talks to John Chapman - a dairy farmer from Middlesbrough, one of the farmers to blame.

The next week is going to be busy in the shops and fields as farmers race against time to get their winter Christmas veg into the shops. Veg which once was traditional, staple Christmas fare could now be on the way out. Charlotte discusses our changing tastes with Christopher Stocks on a visit to Brixton Market in South London.

Presented by Charlotte Smith. Produced by Clare Freeman in Birmingham.
