    Adam interviews Alicy Maltby of Little Wold Vineyard.
    Starting out as a market Place Farm has been in the Wilson family for over 70 years. The farm was bought in 1947 by Robert Wilson when the ‘Cave Castle’ estate was split up. At the time Robert bought the farm, it was farmed in a traditionally mixed way. The Wolds hillsides, which comprise nearly half of the acreage, were in permanent grass supporting a beef herd of about 40 animals.
    To now, a vineyard in the middle of East Yorkshire and a purpose-built venue for weddings!
    It is an amazing story of grit, determination and adaptability.
