The primetime show, presented by The Restaurant's Sarah Willingham, will feature six villages as they launch a brand new rural business with the help of several experts.
The project marks a partnership between BBC One and the Big Lottery Fund, which will be searching for the villages to take part in the show.
"While rural village life is in decline we believe that many villages are sitting on a range of untapped potential that, with the strength of the community behind them, can be turned into thriving businesses," said Big Lottery Fund chair Sir Clive Booth.
The six-part series is due to start filming next year for broadcast on BBC One in winter 2010.
