Marcus Wareing explores new possibilities on his Sussex smallholding. In an attempt to deter any duckling-stealing predators, Marcus puts his scarecrow making to the test. Marcus enters his scarecrow into the local Framfield Scarecrow Festival’s annual contest. Gracefully accepting defeat and eager to get back to work, Marcus pays a visit to dairy manager Dom at Plawhatch Farm. He drops off some of his freshly picked berries to be turned into blackberry yoghurt and prepares for a lesson in cheese bandaging.

With the yoghurts safely delivered to the local community kitchen, Marcus wastes no time back at home. He whips up a fig salad as a thank you to his gardener Anatoliy, and with the help of his family, installs his new scarecrow by the pond. Finally, Marcus prepares some pizza toppings before heading off to a local pizza party for a relaxed night with his neighbours.
