On the first day, all the hopefuls arrive on the farm and head to the main barn to meet each other, Matt, Giles and Trystan. Then it's straight to work as the applicants are challenged to use sheepdogs to gather a flock of over 130 sheep from the farm's mountain pasture. After a challenging first day, the applicant that impresses the most is appointed temporary farm manager, spending the night in the farmhouse and taking responsibility for the livestock on the farm, including a flock of lambing ewes. On day two, the applicants must sort the flock, but things don't go to plan as they try to herd them into the handling pens. Who'll get off on the right foot to impress Giles and Trystan? 

Matt Baker and the National Trust are searching for a new tenant for a 600-acre dream farm in the spectacular Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park in North Wales. Along with fields, woodland and mountain pasture, the farm comes with a beautiful four-bed farmhouse, holiday letting accommodation, views of Wales's highest mountain - Yr Wyddfa - and access to a spectacular lake. Seven applicants living and working on the farm take on tasks designed to prove their skills with livestock, passion for conservation and ability to run a successful business if they're chosen to take on the tenancy. Who will Eryri General Manager Trystan Edwards and the National Trust's Land and Estates Director, Giles Hunt, choose to win the life-changing 15-year tenancy of this incredible farm? At the end of the first week on the farm, it's time for one applicant to leave the process. But first, the hopefuls must prove their livestock handling skills when they're challenged to bring a herd of Welsh Black cattle in from the field, split off a one-tonne bull and safely administer some vitamins. They must also demonstrate their head for business as they present their visions for the farm to Giles and Trystan. From their finances to their ideas about sheep, cattle and welcoming tourists, all essential elements of making a viable business on the farm will be scrutinised. Who'll impress the most and be appointed the next temporary farm manager, and who'll be the first to leave?
