Marcus Wareing explores new possibilities on his Sussex smallholding. As autumn draws in, it’s time to take stock of the kitchen garden and preserve any remaining summer crops so that they last through the winter. Marcus has invited his friend and chef Colin Wheeler to show him some new ideas including fermented cabbage, smoked pear powder and whole brined apples.\n\nKnowing that the children at Grovelands School Farm love looking after their goats, and Marcus makes them a goat see-saw with the help of friend Zoe and her carpenter husband Lindsay. As expected, the children and the goats are delighted with the results. Then it’s party time, and as a way of thanking the local community for all the help and guidance they’ve given him, Marcus has invited them for a feast. Everyone brings a dish for the table, and Marcus makes a pot of barbecue beans with flame-grilled beef rib to celebrate the farm and the friendships he’s made.
