Meanwhile, Margherita will meet the farm's community, including volunteers and bird enthusiasts.

Responding to the reveal in a post on social media, the farm said: "You might have heard the whisper... now you can hear it from the horse's mouth: Woodoaks Farm is going to be featured on the BBC's Countryfile and we are just a little bit excited!" 

The farm was donated to the Soil Association in 2020, and previously appeared on the programme in 2021.
