How do you gauge gas mark 7 when you’re using a 17th-century bread oven? Why did people 400 years ago save up their urine to help with the laundry? Why did farmers in Britain traditionally plough with oxen and not horses? These are just some of the questions five historians and archaeologists asked themselves as they spent a whole year working a farm restored to how it would have been in the year 1620.
Tales from the Green Valley follows the five as they labour for a full agricultural year, getting to grips with period tools, skills, and technology from the age of the Stuarts, the reign of James I. Everything must be done by hand, from ploughing with a team of oxen using a replica period plough and thatching a cowshed using only authentic materials, to making their own washing liquid for laundry and harvesting the hay and wheat with scythes and sickles.

You can not have a "shoulder of lamb" from an old ewe. That's a shoulder of mutton. And there were not many "Victorians" around in the early 17th century.

I've been thinking similarly - although I suppose I've been binge watching quite a few of them and this is the first comment I'm making on one! You've changed the way I'm going to go moving forward though - I'm going to comment on every video I watch made by these guys, just to show how much I love them :)

The Iberico ham gets most of its flavor from the acorns they eat off the ground under the cork oaks. Unfortunately if the cork can't be sold the farmers can't afford to maintain the pastures under the oaks. Rain would have not stopped farmers from doing a full days work. They would have saved indoor jobs for rain days but it wouldn't have prevented them from doing anything useful around the farm! Pigs used to be bred and raised to have at least two inches of fat on the outside. The animal fats were of more uses than the meat did.

I'm so ridiculously soft-hearted, I wouldn't be able to butcher the pig I'd nurtured. I'd swap pigs with a neighbor farmer, kill *their* pig that I wasnt fond of, and they could have mine, lol.
