River Cottage Forever

It is February at River Cottage, but that does not stop Hugh from building "Chickenopolis." Hugh also navigates the River Brit to the sea, and receives news about his sheep.

There is bad news all around regarding the livestock, but Hugh's spirits are raised when news of cuttlefish hit his ears. At the Shaftesbury Market, Hugh ends up in a bidding war.

Hugh is determined to harvest his own hay this season. He also prepares for the Bridport Farmers' Market and receives local assistance to turn his wool into fashionable garments.

Hugh summons experts to deal with his livestock, and soon feels confident in entering Delia into the Okehampton Agricultural Show. Hugh also grapples with a serious aphid problem.

Hugh enters his healthy vegetables into the Vegetable Challenge Cup, makes a batch of ice-lollies to sell to people on holiday in Dorset, and takes Delia truffle hunting.

One of Hugh's ewes has died, and two of his pigs have a date with the abattoir. Despite all this, Hugh decides to plant roots at River Cottage, and is inspired to plant an orchard.

Hugh would like to make some money at the Borough Farmers' Market. Then, after a day of bass fishing, Hugh attends a Halloween Party and partakes in Pumpkin Fettling.
