With his cows, chooks and veges thriving, Paul decides it’s time to explore the nearby coastline and discovers an abundant source of seafood delicacies. He meets a local lobster expert, and together they catch a crayfish brunch. Paul introduces him to a deliciously different way of eating them. Back on the farm, Paul’s busy building a pig pen, before taking delivery of a small herd that will hopefully one day feed him. Before that, he prepares a pork dish using one of the tastiest and most under-used parts of the animal. Then, it’s off to the local harvest festival bake-off. With the help of a country cooking champion, Paul enters his pumpkin scones into the hard-fought contest. But will his entries rise to the occasion?
