Overview
- The couple spoke about their ‘farm gamble’ on James Martin’s Saturday Morning on Saturday, reflecting on how their TV series Fletchers' Family Farm grew from their own learning curve.
- They live on and run the 18th‑century Peak District farm with their four children while filming the ITV series, which is available to stream on ITVX.
- The Fletchers have changed their livestock plan to focus on cattle, sheep and pigs and have removed alpacas to free land and make the holding more commercially viable.
- Kelvin and Liz say COVID interrupted plans to move to Los Angeles, they sold their house and then bought the farm, a shift that turned a search for a quieter life into a working smallholding.
- The show has stretched to multiple series and it highlights both everyday family moments and the real costs of running a small farm, which could shape public interest in how smallholdings become sustainable businesses.
