The farm owner the Viscount and Viscountess are making their way to the farm for their inspection. The dairymaids will have to show off the produce of the farm while the kitchen maids will have to make food for the visit. The farm inspection was important because it showed off their wealth to their friends. They were showing off the ideal farm. Fern and Meg are going to milk the goats and make cutters. Kristie and Louise are going to make bread as well as biscuits and cake. Fern, Meg, Kristie, and Louise will be answering the bailiff’s wife. The first step is milking. However, milking the goat is proving to be a challenge. If the girls do not get enough milk, they will not have enough to make cheese to impress the viscount. Louise struggles to get the oven started with the tinderbox. Kristie has no problems getting the oven lit. They work to get the bread made. Greg and Charlie are working in the mill and making flour.

Will the Time Crashers clean up the farm in time to pass inspection? Will Louise be able to make the perfect loaf of bread? Will Fern and Meg manage to make butter in time? Will the farm hands pass the inspection? Tune into the rest of the episode to find out more about the Georgian Farm and the Time Crashers.
