In what month was the chef who loaned money to Jimmy Doherty for his farm born?
Jimmy's Farm Jimmy's Farm is a working rare-breed pig farm and tourist destination in Wherstead, Suffolk. Owner, Jimmy Doherty set up the Essex Pig Company and was followed by Fresh One Productions, a documentary crew, who made the series Jimmy's Farm which was first aired on the BBC in 2004. It featured the story of Jimmy Doherty setting up the Essex Pig Company, a rare breeds piggery on the outskirts of Ipswich in Suffolk. The drama revolved around Jimmy's previous lack of hands-on experience of farming, the financial struggles involved in starting a small business, and Jimmy's relationships with employees, friends and his girlfriend, Michaela Furney. Doherty was a childhood friend of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, who gave him a loan to help get the farm started, and appeared in one episode of the series. The series was followed up with a one-off special, "Back on Jimmy's Farm", and a second series, "Return to Jimmy's Farm".
