Tales From The Green Valley documentary, farming in 1620 [View all]

I'm watching British documentaries about farming, archaeology, and living in different centuries. "Tales from The Green Valley," with Ruth Goodman, Alex Langland and Peter Ginn. A brilliant self-trained historian and two archaeologists lived and worked for a full year on a farm dating from 1620, using only the tools and methods of the era. They're knowledgeable, hard working, and charming. Everything from animal husbandry, cooking/baking, milking. making cheese, making quicklime, planting and harvesting, training horses, blacksmithing, building an outhouse! I find this very relaxing at this stressful political time. Free on Youtube. I've watched the 12 episodes several times.
