Edwardian Farm - Episode 1 & 2

1/8/2021

0 Comments

 
Peter Ginn, Ruth Goodman, and Alex Langladas are working in the Tamar Valley on an Edwardian Farm.  The first episode is about the historians setting up the farm.

Ruth Goodman is a freelance historian who specializes in domestic history.  Peter Ginn and Alex Langladas are archeologists.  The series also features additional specialized historians and experts throughout the series.

Ruth sets up the house while Alex and Peter set up the animals as well as the fields.  They use Edwardian methods to clean the chimney as well as to make quicklime.  They have to lime the fields in order for crops to grow.  The boys go away to make the quicklime which turned out to be more challenging than they first thought.  If they fail in making quicklime, their farm will fail for the year.

In the mean time, Ruth continues to make the farmhouse a home as well cooking a gruesome dish for the boys in preparation of their return from making quicklime.

If you need a filler in the classroom, this is an excellent series for that use.  You aren't limited to history with this series either you can use this in a family and consumer education or a home economics class to learn a recipes or crafts.  You really see history come to life in this series and Ruth, Alex, and Peter are excellent narrators.

Another important preparation for the harvest include making cider, although the farms orchards only produce a single apple.  They bring in additional cider apples and prep them to make cider for the harvest.  The art of barrel making is explored. 

Ruth works hard in the kitchen to preserve food for the winter, she pickles apples and preserves meat.  Alex also brings back chickens to the farm, which provides an immediate income to the farm.
