Corrigan’s City Farm

Only Free TV rights

Shove your feet into a pair of wellies, grab a trowel and prepare to get muddy! Chef, Richard Corrigan is on a mission. He has enlisted 23 volunteers to become self sufficient and learn how to grow their own produce and rear their own animals. Corrigan wants to spark a food revolution and is championing everyone’s right to an allotment.

The volunteers will concentrate on growing seasonal fruit and vegetables, including strawberries, currants, carrots, parsnips, potatoes and onions and they will focus as well on rearing animals including pigs, chickens -both layers (for eggs) and broilers (for the dinner plate) and bees.

Can our inner city, inexperienced volunteers rise to the challenge and transform a plot of derelict wasteland into a lush and fertile smallholding? The benefits could be considerable - fresh air, exercise and seasonal food, not to mention the savings that can be made in their weekly shopping bills. Richard Corrigan is just the man to help our volunteers take on this amazing and life changing challenge. Can Richard start a national allotment revolution?
