Matt Baker said: "I am delighted we are back for a second series, shedding light on the tenant farming world and the challenges our farming community faces in not only producing food, but also in looking after our environment."
‘Our Dream Farm with Matt Baker' is set to return for another series later this year, featuring farmers seeking to take on a tenancy in North Wales.
Channel 4 has confirmed the show will return in 2025 for a new series which follows the efforts of the National Trust as it searches for a new tenant of a 243-hectare farm in the Eryri National Park, formerly Snowdonia National Park.

Filmed in and around the farm, the exciting new documentary-style series follows seven shortlisted applicants who have been brought together to get to know the farm where they hope to live, work and call a home in the future.
Each week, the candidates are monitored by the National Trust as they complete farming tasks in the hope of proving that they should be chosen to take on the tenancy of the farm.
Adam and Jenny Grieve had seen off competition to manage a 137-hectare farm on the trust's Wallington Estate in Northumberland in last year's show.
Contestants must consider what it means to run the farm and will be judged on their ability to maximise all of the opportunities the farm has to offer, from environmental sustainability and farming innovation to tourism.

Potential candidates will leave the process week by week until just two are left.
They will then be invited to attend a final meeting with the National Trust.
Only the winner will be offered the 15-year tenancy at the farm in the heart of rural Eryri.

Matt Baker, a television presenter who has appeared on Countryfile and who was raised on a farm near Durham, said he was excited to be bringing back the show.
"I am delighted we are back for a second series, shedding light on the tenant farming world and the challenges our farming community faces in not only producing food, but also in looking after our environment," he added.
"It is an incredible farm and I hope viewers will indulge in the breathtaking landscapes and enjoy learning about Welsh hill farming traditions, culture and techniques."
Farm tenancy
Deborah Dunnett, who commissioned the series for Channel 4 said: "Big Circus [producers of the show] have made a beautiful series that will really change the life of one farmer as they take on the management of this glorious tenancy.
"We are thrilled to have worked in partnership with the National Trust to share the culture, language, history and heritage of this working Welsh farm deep in the Eryri National Park."

Giles Hunt, land and estates director at the National Trust, said: "We were delighted to work with Big Circus and Channel 4 to have made another series of 'Our Dream Farm'.
"We hope the series increases people's understanding of the role farmers and land managers play in restoring nature, producing food and improving the climate for the whole of the UK.
'Rural life and culture'
"The National Trust hugely values its relationship with it farming tenants – and works hard to collaborate on ways to achieve more nature on our land, whilst maintaining important farming values.
"Rural life and culture in Wales are critically important considerations among these communities that work almost exclusively in Welsh and we were delighted to be able help bring these important aspects to a wider audience.
"The farm we are letting is among the most nature-rich in the Trust's Wales portfolio – and the lucky winner of the tenancy will be charged with caring for it for the public, now and over the next 15 years.
"We all very much look forward to working with them."
A date for the new series has not yet been revealed.
