It was made for the BBC by independent production company Lion Television and filmed at Morwellham Quay, an historic quay in Devon.

The series was followed by Wartime Farm in September 2012, featuring the same team but this time in Hampshire on Manor Farm, living a full calendar year as wartime farmers.
