Ben Fogle: New Lives In The Wild

S11E03 New Zealand

Ben encounters Lucy, who relocated from Britain to build a fresh start with her husband Tim on New Zealand's North Island. They reside in a yurt by a river, surrounded by 25 acres of woodland they've converted into a thriving farm with their two daughters. During his visit, Ben learns how the forest sustains their family, experiencing their daily tasks of chopping wood and foraging for wild edibles. He also uncovers the couple's approach to alternative education for their children and Lucy's activism efforts stemming from their remote lifestyle.
