Visiting Hayle's Fruit Farm near Winchcombe in the Cotswolds, she asks Martin Harrell how the Brexit vote might affect the availability of East European migrant workers who the industry relies upon to pick the crops. Charlotte also hears about the delayed growing season after a long, wet spring, and why Martin's had to diversify in order to survive.
