Back to the Land is in Yorkshire where Kate meets the proud producers of the UK's very first skyr, a cheese which has been a Scandinavian favourite since the Viking era. Dairy farmer's son Sam spotted the potential in this new food trend. On a whim he went to Reykjavik to learn how to make it, then convinced his dad to invest Β£250k against the family farm to start up. With nationwide success in his sights Kate follows Sam as his production reaches an epic scale.

Kate meets city baker-cum-forager Mina, who has set up the only 100% gluten-free bakery in Leeds using ingredients she has foraged locally. We also meet a former chartered surveyor who moved back to his native Yorkshire when the credit crunch hit, using his redundancy money he rented a piece of land and took a punt on producing herb-fed poultry. And we meet a mum and former tax accountant turned smithy who has hit upon traditional blacksmithing techniques to design and produce decorative items for the home and garden.
