River Cottage Australia

River Cottage Australia (2013)

Fifteen years ago, English celebrity chef, television personality, food writer and campaigner on food and environmental issues Hugh-Fearnley-Whittingstall embarked on an experiment in sustainability and self-sufficiency. He moved to a cottage on a small land-holding in Dorset, and set about learning how to grow his own produce, raise livestock, and become part of a community where sharing not only knowledge, but the fruits of farm labour, were an important part of life.
