With Hugh back in the UK , Paul finds himself alone at River Cottage Australia – but not for long. He’s about to welcome a new best friend to the farm, Digger the Border Collie pup. With his new mate nipping at his heels, Paul sets about getting his winter vegetable crop fed, and that involves an organic fertiliser recipe that makes use of some of the farm’s most unwanted products. It’s Festival time in the local village of Central Tilba, and Paul’s keen to make an impression with his cooking skills. But will his home-made relish cut it with the locals? Further afield with the help of local hunters, Paul discovers how a notorious pest can be turned into a delicious meal, and he welcomes his first dairy cow to River Cottage. But will he ever learn how to milk it?
