Farming, Celebs and Plum Pudding Pigs! The Making of Farmer Chris

by Chris Jeffery, Stephen Bailey (Foreword), Chris Berry (Primary Contributor)

TV celebrity judge Farmer Chris on Channel 5 Star's Celebs On The Farm and regularly featured farmer on Channel 5's The Yorkshire Vet, Chris Jeffery tells his remarkable life story, born a farmer's son who became a pig farm manager, milkman, insurance adviser, meat humper, animal nutrition representative to farm supply shop owner, before a career in television beckoned at 60. Chris' amazing journey has taken him from a village near York and a now distant world of Shire horses, girls, rugby and his close circle of pals to a life map that includes Suffolk, Northern Ireland, a Russian love affair, owning a racehorse and proposing to his third wife in the Indian Ocean. Today he is back with his true first love - animals - running a rare breeds farm with his beloved pedigree Whitebred Shorthorn herd and his plum pudding pigs. Follow Chris' highs and lows as he sometimes lurches from crisis to crisis but always comes out smiling - and how a comic moment captured on Channel 5 sealed his opportunity to become the man who calls the shots on the fate of the famous on a celebrity show that has recently been nominated in a series of TV awards.

WOW! I literally could not put this book down. Just an amazing book that really delves into the life of our FC! I love how down to earth Farmer Chris really is and that really comes across and is nice to see a totally different side to him than when hes in farmer mode on the TV! I would hugely recommend this book to any FC fan. You will not be disappointed!!!

Merged review:

The book I actually read was Farmer Chris' second book Big tales from my little farm but the book isn't listed for me to review. Again this book was fantastic and I just couldn't put it down. I love reading about Farmer Chris' farming life and his day to day adventures. Another must read!
