Marcus plans to bring in some ducks, but things aren’t as simple as they seem as he heads out onto the lake to create a new home for them. Heading to Devon, he discovers the perfect breed for the smallholding and picks up some top tips and tricks on how to rear them.\n\nBack on the farm, the bounty of the kitchen garden inspires a visit to a local community fridge to learn more about how it works, before a neighbour pops over to give him a lesson on what is edible and growing wild in the hedgerows and bushes that surround the smallholding. Once the new ducks arrive and are safely in their new home, he cooks up a fantastic feast inspired by a British classic, the ploughman's lunch.
