Adam Henson, the beloved Countryfile presenter, has just dropped a major announcement hot on the heels of his candid revelations about leaving his Cotswolds farm.

Taking to the official Countryfile Instagram page, Adam excitedly revealed that the cherished farming and wildlife show is seeking a Young Countryside Champion as part of the BBC Food and Farming Awards 2025.

The post was accompanied by a caption stating: "Countryfile is in search of a Young Countryside Champion for the BBC Food and Farming Awards 2025, and you can send us your nominations now!"

"Do you know a young person aged between 16 and 24 who is passionate about improving the countryside? Maybe they are innovating on a farm, embracing environmentally friendly farming practices, conserving wildlife, or volunteering?"

"Head over to the website bbc.co.uk/foodawards to nominate them and to find the terms and privacy notice. Nominations close Monday, 30 June 2025, at midday. Good luck," reports Gloucestershire Live.

In a charming video clip, Adam made the call to action from his own farm, saying: "Countryfile is in search of a Young Countryside Champion for the BBC Food and Farming Awards 2025.

"You could be a young farmer innovating to increase yields or embracing environmentally friendly farming practices. A young naturalist protecting our wildlife, or a volunteer raising awareness of the opportunities of the countryside."

He further remarked: "However, a young person is making a difference; we want to hear about it. So if you or someone you know is aged between 16 and 24 and passionate about improving the British countryside, then please do get in touch."

In light of the recent programme announcement, Adam, earlier this week, disclosed his plans post-farming as he acknowledges the end of his tenure, confessing to the Daily Express, "My dad was ahead of his time by opening a farm for people to come and visit, bottle-feed a lamb or hold a chick."

While sharing memories, he said, "While I was pulling on my wellies and chasing my dad out of the door to join him on the farm, my own children aren't interested in a career in farming."

Detailing his children's paths, he revealed, "Sure, they can lamb a sheep and drive a tractor, but my daughter lives in Perth as an events organiser and my son is a financial advisor in Leeds."

Reflecting on what lies ahead, Adam mused, "So when the tenancy runs out in 12 years' time, Charlie and I are moving to a bungalow close by in Winchcombe, where we have a few acres and will keep a few sheep and the dogs."

Adam concluded with a note of nostalgia: "It will be the end of an era, but I will still be able to enjoy the lovely countryside."
