How The Edwardians Made Cider From Their Apple Trees | Edwardian Farm | Absolute History

Historian Ruth Goodman and archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn recreate the running of a farm as it would've been in the Edwardian era. Alex and Peter milk goats and train the ploughhorses. They begin a market garden of strawberries. Ruth pickles apples, salts a ham, and smokes bacon. Alex and Peter press apples to cider (scrumpy), freighting first the apples, then the barrel on the river. They visit a cooper and make lime putty. They read government agricultural leaflets, collect eggs, make chicken stew, and celebrate Halloween in Edwardian style.

Oh my, I wish I could hear the narrative better. The music is so loud at times, it’s hard to hear what is being said. I really love watching “Absolute History”. I think I’ve seen 20 different episodes since I found your programs three days ago. I can’t seem to get enough of it! I’ve also introduced my sister to your shows. We are both in our 70’s and many nights have a hard time sleeping, we both binge watch in our separate homes till the wee hours of the morning. Thank you so much for all your wonderful work.

Hi - if you search for " Edwardian farm" on youtube, someone called Brad Collett has downloaded a really good video, with no issues.

[@gracecookie4604]

No joke supermarkt chicken is flavorless compared to home grown chicken raised chicken for eggs when they stop laying we fatten them up for the pot so yummy

[@maxdecphoenix]

That's because supermarket chickens are culled very young so they have no fat in them. The birds are just injected with hormone to put on a lot of meat but they have no fat on them to flavor anything. Turkey's are even worse, significantly more meat, roughly same amount of fat. We've just accepted that the flavor has to come from the oil (fried) or 'flavor injectors.' You want a good flavorful meat, you need an old bird, with a good amount of fat. It's the difference between taste/sustenance.

[@hermeticmoth]

I was just having this conversation today. I stopped eating chicken for a while when I returned from provencal France. It was alarming how much better the chicken from the small markets were there vs. how they are here in the States 😕

[@laceneil4570]

The meat you get from a small, locally sourced butcher is way better than supermarket meat. I buy meat from the local butcher whenever I can afford it cuz it's just so much tastier. Also, it supports local farms and since the meat doesn't travel very far, is better for the environment.

Love the channel but seriously a commercial or two every frickin few minutes is obnoxious. Just counted 18 commercials! KZbin is bonkers.

[@ritageorge8748]

So it's like that everywhere?

If you fast forward to the end then hit replay the commercials aren't there anymore

Caelestis Nox I’ve heard at some point it was something about putting the video on KZbin that messes with it, But that doesn’t make much sense to me so I’m not sure.

[@mrcmoes]

@@dannydethanos6994 they licenced this show from the bbc. Some people claim that on original broadcast it was fine. But every official upload on streaming services I have tried watching it on sounds like this

Hi - if you search for " Edwardian farm" on youtube, someone called Brad Collett has downloaded a really good video, with no issues. The same goes for Tales from the green valley, someone called permahome... etc. You can find all the farms these three people made with the BBC if you check out Ruth Goodman on the net.. I love these series! Good luck - stay safe.. greetings from Sweden!

Remember watching this back in like, 2013. So good to see it on here now.

[@ernest-kemplar]

man ive got to say as a history nut seeing this farm, it really brings this era of farming and people to life.

[@celticlass8573]

To all the people asking/complaining about the sound--this channel didn't make the series (the BBC did, 10 years ago).

[@zeenasworld]

i am learning a lot from this show. how cute they eat from his hand. Aww.

I finished the Victorian Farm series on Christmas Eve and now on to the Edwardian series. I can't stop! Prof Hutton is the best Halloween party guest ever!

[@aninastorm4709]

This series in INCREDIBLE!!! I love the fact that the strawberry plants that were planted a hundred years ago were still growing and thriving on the platou, just waiting for someone to return and give them a chance again...

[@loriscook5231]

Love the Edwardian era, my mothers, mother grew up in a tiny village in the south of England. The family decided to move to New Zealand, two sons were to go first with their sister (about 18yr old) to cook and clean for them. WW1 broke out and the rest of the family couldn’t travel to join them. It was 10years later that they were reunited. My Nana had married in NZ and had my mother. The family left in England had another son the same age as my mother when they finally arrived in NZ. As a child I couldn’t understand how Mum had an uncle the same age as her.

[@harrietw7571]

My village in south west England, was the birth place of Francis Trask.(1840 - 6 April 1910) He was a 20th-century Member of the New Zealand Legislative Council and Mayor of Nelson. You can look up the 1911 Census on the internet, maybe learn a little more about where your family was from.

I adore these series, I have no illusions about how hard this life is but the idea of being able to grow and eat as much of my own food as possible is my end goal for my life

[@nancybeveridgetaylor3256]

This reminds me of growing up on the farm and pickling & canning in the fall with my mother from our truck garden for the winter. 🥰 her pantry looks like the pantry for the pickled, dried, smoked & home canned foods i grew up with. As well as the dry grain ready to mill to make breads. We had friends that we traded for eggs and milk as well because we were well known for our good breads and rolls and canned goods.

Aww I'd love it if we still celebrated the traditional un-Americanised Halloween here in the UK! I feel like we've lost touch with all that tradition, as much as I enjoy how we do it these days

[@maxdecphoenix]

the un-Anglicized Saxon Halloween tradition was a pilgrimage where family carried the bones and ashes of their relatives who died that year to a communal burial site for a 3-4 days long festival.

[@Itscannatella]

@@maxdecphoenix yeah I think I’d prefer the American version then.

[@LeviRHogan]

At one point in America the American Halloween was known as "Irish Halloween".

[@Bella-fz9fy]

American Halloween traditions came from England originally then re-enforced later by Irish immigrants.We had mischief night and door to door trick or treat fancy dress traditions etc that died out here but carried on in America and now are coming back!

[@mtsenskmtsensk5113]

At 1 minute 15seconds , saying cheap imports from America made it uneconomic to grow them in England. What they are carefully not saying, is the scandal of the corn laws to prevent imports had doubled the price of bread, and this was to protect the landed gentry owners of most farming.The Corn Laws were tariffs and restrictions put in place from 1815-1846 in the United Kingdom. Economist David Ricardo (1772, London, England-died September 11, 1823) believed landlords tended to squander their wealth on luxuries, rather than invest. He believed the Corn Laws were leading to the stagnation of the British economy. Parliament repealed the Corn Laws in 1846.

[@TalynCo]

The way they use the term "concern" is new to me.

[@megancrager4397]
