Marcus is thinking about adding some goats to the smallholding. There’s a small out-building that could make the perfect shelter for them, but as they’re notoriously hard to look after, Marcus wants to find out more before taking the plunge.\n\nHe visits a farm in Surrey to learn all about rearing, milking and feeding goats as well as producing cheese from their milk. As suspected, it’s all a bit overwhelming, and ultimately Marcus decides that the time isn’t right to take on such responsibility. However, his sheep keep escaping their enclosure, and so Marcus decides to let them roam freely, using the goat shelter for themselves.\n\nThen it’s time to welcome two more apprentice chefs to the smallholding. This time, Marcus has asked his fire expert friend Chris Taylor to give the young chefs a masterclass in cooking over fire, using the heat and the coals in unexpected ways. Finally, Marcus whips up a goat's cheese salad and a sumptuous rarebit for a spot of lunch.
