Astro Farm is a British children's television series animated using stop-motion animation. It follows the adventures of the Foxwoods, a small family who live and work on an asteroid covered in farmland.

Astro Farm was produced by FilmFair for Central Independent Television and was first broadcast on CITV in 1992.

Synopsis

The main action takes place on an asteroid dedicated to farming. The Foxwoods live in a small cottage with a barn, while Daisy the cow lives on a separate farm. The atmosphere is artificial and controlled by the weather machine in the cottage. The Gorups live on a nearby asteroid known as 'Gorp Dale', which is dark and wet.

The principal characters are Sam; his wife Lizzie; their son Tom; Dinko, a dog; Daisy the cow; and blue chickens called Clucks. Other characters include the Gorups, Splodger and Biff, two miscreants who steal food and cause trouble at the farm.
