In the process of setting up and聽running the farm, and making the programme, Alex put a number of his other skills to the test: working heavy horses, understanding crop rotations, ploughing, harrowing, sowing and harvesting - all essential to a successful year on a farm.
In 2010 Alex and the team began work on - exploring rural life at the turn of the century. The setting for the series was the glorious Tamar Valley, the boundary between Cornwall and Devon, and this location enabled the team to set out and explore the rural heritage of the south-west of England.

In January 2012, Alex took part in The Great Sport Relief Bake Off Celebrity Special and in April 2012 Alex joined a journey across Britain to discover how our landscape, history and climate shape what we grow and where we grow it in on 大象传媒2.
