Celebs On The Farm judge (C5 & MTV) and The Yorkshire Vet regular (C5) Farmer Chris follows up his acclaimed autobiography Farming, Celebs & Plum Pudding Pigs - The Making of Farmer Chris with tales of hilarity, heartbreak, happiness, hopelessness and his own refreshing honesty, best summed up with his personal assessment 'Had I thought this through?' Big Tales From My Little Farm sees Farmer Chris at home in North Yorkshire with his wife Farmer Kate on their 40-acre farm and tells of how Chris finally realised his dream of becoming a farmer and then realised just how much he had to learn. Laugh out loud humour, cry out loud despair and varying degrees of astonishment, frustration, achievement and disbelief follow as Chris looks on as a massive cattle feeding ring falls of the back of his trailer as he is going uphill, his tractor steering fails on a country lane, his sheep escape again along with his goats, his cattle win major prizes, his sow only has a litter of one piglet and his Jack Russell terrier eats a whole Terry's Chocolate Orange! Chris' good friend Julian Norton (The Yorkshire Vet) provides the foreword plus an additional chapter. Farmer Kate provides the words 'Oh Christopher!'
