On television
The farm was filmed a good many times. Two of those films survive in full.
BBC Countryfile — Farm Diary. Filmed at Lucies Farm, in the season of the muddy fields.
Press coverage. The farm and its animals, as broadcasters found them.
Dogs and pigs. Most of an hour of it, cut at the farm — swimming pigs, the dog hotel, dogs in the garden, and the BBC crew being filmed while they filmed Countryfile.

Dolci and Gabanna.
