0:00:59 > 0:01:04- More than that, she makes - something special from their wool.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09- You'll also get the chance to see - the photos you sent us of your dogs.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- As Christmas draws near, farmers - across Wales are getting busier...
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- ..to ensure everyone - has plenty of food.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Turkey is still popular.
0:01:21 > 0:01:27- Meinir went to a Pembrokeshire farm - where they keep 500 of them.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- Here on Maesyderi farm, Boncath, - the Vaughans are very busy...
0:01:34 > 0:01:39- ..preparing turkeys for - local people's Christmas dinner.
0:01:39 > 0:01:44- Believe you me, - a 20lb turkey needs a lot of food!
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Maesyderi is a 200-acre farm.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54- They milk 120 cattle - and keep 30 pedigree Beltex sheep.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- There's a lot more work - for the family in winter...
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- ..as they rear 500 turkeys.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- This is a proper family farm.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Everyone pitches in.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- This gets you - in the Christmas spirit!
0:02:10 > 0:02:11- How long have you kept turkeys?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- They've been at Maesyderi - for about 28 years.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Mam and Dad decided they wanted - to keep some after they got married.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Mam-gu and Tad-cu had some - and they said...
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- .."If you're going to keep some, - keep them all!"
0:02:27 > 0:02:28- That's what happened.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- We order them in January and they - come as day-old chicks in August.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- As they grow, - they go out to a larger enclosure.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- It's three weeks until Christmas - and they've come on very well.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- They're given rolled barley now - to make their meat a lot whiter...
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- ..and the taste a lot nicer.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Is that the secret?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Yes, and a couple of secrets - I won't tell you!
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- I thought - you were going to reveal all!
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- Not this time. That's how we get - the customers to return every year.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- The chicks come in August a day old.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- How much do they cost then?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- About 3 when they're a day old.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16- It all depends on - the different varieties or breeds.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17- You have many breeds here.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18- You have many breeds here.- - We have five breeds.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Roly-polies, Plumpies...
0:03:21 > 0:03:22- ..T9s, T10s...
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- ..and the Grainmakers - I think their name is.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- It's to ensure we have - different weights for the customers.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Some want 8lb turkeys, - some want 28lb ones.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39- If they're not large enough - or they're getting too big...
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- ..we change the lighting - in this building.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- If they're too small, - we give them more light for longer.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48- Why is that?
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- They only eat when it's light. - They don't eat if it's dark.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- You have to be organized, I'm sure.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- There's a lot of paperwork...
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- ..especially - after the turkeys are slaughtered.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- You have to ensure - there's a turkey for everyone...
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- ..and they get the size they want, - or as close as possible.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- After slaughtering, they're weighed - before they're put in the fridges.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14- Then we sort them...
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- ..so a turkey is allocated - to everyone who orders from us.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- You have to be organized.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- The farmyard can get full of cars...
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- ..with 20 people in the house - wanting their turkeys!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Glyn and Mair - have farmed here for 28 years.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- They can do any work required.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- Mair does the milking - in the morning and evening.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47- I do the feeding, scraping - and the mucking out.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52- It's all done in the morning - before breakfast.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Then it's other work - for the rest of the day.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- The turkeys are fed after breakfast.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- I'll then go around - the Beltex sheep.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- You also work away from the farm.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- Yes, I'm a fireman - with the fire brigade in Crymych.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- It'll be 20 years next year.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- I'm the crew manager at present.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- I enjoy it.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- It's completely different - to farming.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- I've learned a lot - and I enjoy it a lot.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- I think you're very lucky - to have Mair!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Definitely. She can do everything.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- There's no telling - if I'm here or not.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- If the pager goes, I'm off.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37- That's how it works.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- You're a farmer's daughter. You can - do anything that needs doing.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Yes, I was brought up - on a dairy farm near Capel Iwan.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- I do most of the milking.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- I prefer milking - to scraping or feeding.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- She prefers it - to being on a tractor too!
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- It's not easy to rear turkeys - for Christmas.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- As well as all the work - feeding them...
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- ..you need to be organized - when taking all the orders...
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- ..ensuring no-one goes without - their turkey on Christmas Day.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- It's a couple of weeks - until Christmas.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- We have to watch them now.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- There's a lot of work - keeping an eye on them...
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- ..making sure they're clean...
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- ..ready for the mad rush - as I call it...
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- ..a couple of days before Christmas.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Carys, - you have some extra help this year!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Yes! He'll be among the feathers - by Christmas.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- We've been born among the feathers - so he'll go in straightaway.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47- It's a part of our life.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- It's how it's been for us - and it'll be the same for him.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- How many regulations are involved?
0:06:53 > 0:06:54- How many regulations are involved?- - Quite a lot.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Like milk, it's food, - so we have to be careful.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- We send in a form - saying when we're plucking.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- We might have a spot-check - or we might be lucky and see no-one.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- What happens on plucking day?
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- A couple of us - start at around 2.00am.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- We catch the turkeys, - stun them and slaughter them.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- It's much easier - to handle them in the dark.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- You don't anger them.
0:07:21 > 0:07:27- We do around 170-200 in a day.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- How much per pound do you charge?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- How much per pound do you charge?- - Around 3.50 per pound.
0:07:31 > 0:07:37- For a 20lb turkey, it's around 65.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- It's a good sign - that you have returning customers.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- It is. We're lucky that local people - support us very well.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- If you want fresh turkey, - come to Maesyderi this year!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- They're not expensive - and I can guarantee they're tasty!
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- You obviously enjoy farming turkeys.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02- I do.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- I'm very glad that Mam and Dad let - us take such a role in the business.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- They take our comments on board.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- If we want to change something, - they're ready to try it.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- So I do enjoy doing it.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- It's a way for me to farm - without farming full-time...
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- ..because I usually work in the - office, so it keeps me on the farm.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26- It makes Christmas.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Yes, it isn't Christmas here - without turkey.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- We're in the Ffarmers pub - in the depths of Ceredigion.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- The place has been transformed - by the owners...
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- ..Rhodri Edwards - and Esther Prytherch.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Today, the chef is their son, Harri.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- Harri, tell me, does Christmas - challenge you as a restaurant?
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- You'd think it would, but because - the menu doesn't change...
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- ..almost everyone wants turkey...
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- ..we can just send the orders out.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- It's also - quite an exciting time of year.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- That keeps us going too.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- We have a break in January - so it's something to aim for!
0:09:13 > 0:09:14- Yes!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- I'm sure - you've seen the development...
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- ..of the idea of local food.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- That's part of your culture here.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23- It is, actually.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- It's a lot easier than you'd think.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- There are so many good ingredients - in the area.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Rob Rattray is nearby. - He provides our meat.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- The fish comes from Cardigan Bay - and Pembrokeshire.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- If you went through the menu, - a lot of it is local.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Hunts take place - the other side of the valley.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- We get meat from there - this time of the year.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- I see.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- What's the response like?
0:09:52 > 0:09:57- Do people appreciate the fact - you provide food sourced locally?
0:09:57 > 0:09:58- Yes.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- We're a bit out of the way.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05- People are willing to drive here - because they know the food is local.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- If it costs an extra 50p, - people are prepared to pay.
0:10:08 > 0:10:14- It's nice, as there's no village - hall and the chapel's shut...
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- ..we're like the local town hall.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- That's another reason...
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- ..why the Ffarmers - is in Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- What about Christmas Day?

0:10:59 > 0:11:03- While we're enjoying the tasty food, - a chance for you to have a break.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Before that, a few weeks ago...

0:13:13 > 0:13:15- You bought them yourself?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- I bought them myself - because I was interested in them.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- I take them out - and exhibit them at shows.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Only small shows.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- You were raised here - but you've been away.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- Yes, I went travelling for a few - months in New Zealand and Australia.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- I came back and wanted to start - something myself.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- I started making jewellery - from home.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- I started doing it - in my brother's old bedroom.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Is there a connection between - your beautiful sheep...
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- ..and what you produce - in your studio?
0:13:48 > 0:13:53- I use the wool. - We shear the sheep and the lambs.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Lamb wool is very valuable.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- I take the wool - down to a shop in Colwyn Bay.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- A lady down there - weaves and colours it for me.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- I use that wool - in some of my pieces.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10- That's original.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- Yes, it's a bit different.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- Yes, - but I wanted something original...
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- ..so people think and remember - "Oh, the woman who does the wool."
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- They are very friendly sheep.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Their sheared wool - can weigh up to 9kg.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- At its longest, - their wool is around 25cm long.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- Here's the ram.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Isn't he lovely!
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- Look at this wool.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- It's long, thick and curly.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- It's wonderful.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52- He's quite a sight, Lowri.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- He's quite a sight, Lowri.- - He does like a bit of attention.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56- How old is he?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- He's three or four. Four, I think.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- You'll get a lot of wool - from shearing him.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03- Yes indeed.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Look at how nice it is.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- If Santa Claus is listening...
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- ..please, please my I have one - like Ted for Christmas?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- I haven't seen a ram like - this one for a long while.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16- They are different.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- You've pampered him.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19- He is quite tame.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20- He's been spoilt.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- He'll be here forever.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- I don't think Mam - will let me sell Ted.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- I don't think I could anyway.
