Marking the end of the UN's Year of Family Farming, Charlotte Smith meets all four generations of the Palmer family who farm together near Fowey in Cornwall.

The UN's initiative received little attention in the UK, but elsewhere around the world we'll hear that it brought together family farmers from different continents to share best practice.

Down on the Palmer family's farm near Fowey in south Cornwall, Charlotte meets the relatives whose experiences stretch back over seventy years. Alice who's in her 90s recalls coming to Frogmore Farm as a Lancashire land girl during the war. She married Tom, the farmer's son, and has never left. We hear of her daughter Jill's experience running the farm these last twenty years, of her grandson Simon, and her 18 year old great grandson Ben, who also works on the farm.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Mark Smalley.
