AS SEEN ON ITV'S NEW WEEKEND FLAGSHIP SHOW 'JIMMY AND SHIVI'S FARMHOUSE BREAKFAST'.

'Jimmy's love of nature is second to none - what a beautiful read' - Jamie Oliver

'Running a wildlife park is a complex job. To do it you need knowledge that varies from animal biology to how to get an ancient tractor running after a harsh frost. If there's a more diverse job, I'd like to hear about it. But the massive upside of all that hard work is simple. At all times you're embedded in the landscape and the lives of those incredible animals which depend on it - a beautiful natural gift which you are forever unwrapping.'

Twenty years ago, Jimmy Doherty started a farm for rare breed pigs on some derelict land in Suffolk. Now a thriving wildlife park, which is home to many different species of animal, this book chronicles the journey that Jimmy and his family have found themselves on over the years.

In Tales From Jimmy's Farm, Jimmy reveals how he made his childhood dream of having his own wildlife park a reality - how, starting with a few rare breed pigs, he would transform a derelict and forgotten Suffolk farm into an A-Z of the animal world, from anteaters to zebras.

Taking us on a journey through the seasons - spring lambs to rutting reindeer, sun-loving meerkats to festive monkeys - Jimmy reveals the ups and downs of a life immersed in the natural world, and explains how we too, wherever we may live, can benefit ourselves and the planet by embracing the remarkable animals around us.

Jimmy Doherty is an entomologist, a farmer, a conservationist and a TV presenter. He is also an author: his first book, On the Farm, was published in 2004, followed by a cookbook called A Taste of the Country in 2006 and a tie-in book to a BBC series called A Farmer's Life for Me in 2011. Jimmy has been seen on our TV screens ever since, across a number of programmes. He is a regular presenter on Food Unwrapped as well as Jamie and Jimmy's Friday Night Feast and, in 2020, he shared his life-long passion for insects in Jimmy's Big Bee Rescue on Channel 4, aiming to inspire protection of the nation's bee population. In 2016, he became the youngest ever President to date of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, a post he held until 2021.
