ABOUT TED

We love to entertain and educate children about the countryside through fun, farm-focused content that encourages healthy eating habits and sustainable living.

In a world of rising childhood obesity, pervasive junk food advertising and increasing disconnection from the outdoors, Tractor Ted advocates for nature, the countryside and farm-fresh food. By stimulating children’s natural curiosity about the world around them, we help them learn about sustainable living and develop healthy eating habits.

 

Our Content:

Tractor Ted is more than just a character—he's a trusted guide for both children and parents, combining live action and animation.   Each episode reveals a new fascinating aspect of farm life —whether it's powerful machinery, cute animals, or interesting farming processes. Through engaging storytelling and exciting yet simple real footage, the series captivates young audiences. Tractor Ted goes beyond entertainment, promoting a love for nature, healthy living, and the joys of outdoor exploration, inspiring children to develop a lasting appreciation for farming and the environment.

Our Story: 

Tractor Ted began when Alexandra Head noticed how captivated her children were by farm machinery working in the fields – but there were no available programs for young children that showed the activities of a real-life farm. Determined to fill this gap, Alexandra teamed up with her friend David Horler to create the first Tractor Ted film, "Tractorland," on a shoestring budget. After placing an advertisement in Farmers Weekly, they sold 300 copies in just one week. Over twenty years later, Tractor Ted has grown into a beloved character, educating millions of children about life on the farm.
