The Incredible Pol Farm

It's the county fair season! The Pol’s plan to get at least two cows and six sheep at the auction, but they have a lot to do before that can happen. First up, they must install a new perimeter fence. Charles and Ben think they are off to a good start, but when Dr. Pol points out how sneaky sheep can be, their workload doubles. Meanwhile, Beth is hoping for a goat at the small animal auction.

The Pol’s need to break ground for a new outbuilding that will house incoming livestock and Charles has dreamt up an outrageous idea of what that structure can be – and it just may be just crazy enough to work. At the auction, the Pol’s are hoping to purchase sheep and cows, but the skyrocketing bids threaten their big plans.

The bidding is live at the large animal auction! The Pol’s are working towards their goal of bringing home sheep and cows to their farm. Any animals they win will be delivered to the farm in just three days, so the pressure is on to get the sheep hut finished in time – and there is a ton left to do. Meanwhile, Beth and Charles are concerned about the low activity in their beehives.

This family farm needs a barn! The Pol’s are ready to tackle their next big project: preserving and carefully taking down a 100-year-old barn since, with every piece they remove makes the barn weaker and weaker. There is no room for error if they are going to transport these irreplaceable beams back to the farm and restore it to its former glory.

The Pol’s have reached the most dangerous stage of disassembling the 100-year-old barn: taking down the beams. Then, if all goes well, they’ll transport the beams back to the farm. Each part of this process must be carefully orchestrated to protect these irreplaceable beams. Meanwhile, Beth tries training Clovis after he runs away from the farm.

The Pol’s new livestock aren’t potty trained; their sheep hut isn’t draining properly and has now been transformed into a Pee Palace. It’s late fall and the winter deep freeze is just around the corner, so the family needs to get it fixed fast. The Pol’s also get a new sheep for their farm.

The Pol clan gets to work on creating Beth’s dream garden. To beat the incoming rainstorm, an exhausted Ben works around the clock to finish building the garden’s pond and waterfall. Noticing her brother is near his breaking point, Beth plans a special surprise to lift his spirits.

The Pol’s rush to prepare for their farm’s first Michigan winter. The family goes into hyperdrive to fix the pasture fence and finish building the garden hardscape before the first snow falls. Beth is worried about the bees, so she brings in some expert help to hopefully ensure their survival.

It’s winter on the farm, and the Pol’s are adding to their flock! The family is bringing in four merino ewes that were recently bred, which means with any luck the farm could be expecting its first lambs come springtime. And as winter fades into spring, the Pol’s prepare for the new arrivals by building a lambing pen. Meanwhile, Beth checks if her bees survived the winter.

The Pol’s are preparing for sheep to give birth, which means figuring out how to catch and shear their four Merino ewes – no small task as this is new territory for everyone except Dr. Pol. Then, while helping his dad on a farm call, Charles has a terrifying accident. The whole family rallies together to care for Charles and take care of the farm.

It’s been a year of farming for the Pol family. Even with Charles recovering from his injury, the farm’s showing no signs of slowing down! Beth takes the next step with her bees to grow the colony and harvest honey. Charles and Ben come up with a final fix for the sheep hut’s drainage problem. The whole family comes together to plant the garden and celebrate a successful year on the farm.
