Shorty', the pig raised by Ruth's Pig Club from Episode 2, has fattened up over the last six months, and is ready for slaughter. Half of the pork is split between the club members, and half is donated, as required, to the government.

As Ruth, Alex and Peter leave Manor Farm for the last time, they reminisce over the last year, and express their respect for the farmers and their families who ploughed on during the war. From the acclaimed producers of Edwardian Farm and Victorian Farm comes a brand new factual series. Archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn and domestic historian Ruth Goodman return to experience life on a farm, this time during the Second World War. This latest experiment proves to be nothing short of a revolution in British farming, as the team take on their biggest challenge yet. Wartime Farm is a fascinating blend of war history, survival creativity and endurance. Spurred on by a promotional film from the Ministry of Information, Peter starts a rabbit concern with the dual aim of impressing the War Ag and efficiently producing extra meat for the family and for Britain. Ruth, meanwhile, creates cottage cheese from gone-off milk, and employs a pre-war hand-cranked washing machine to help with the daily chores. Ruth, meanwhile, joins the Women's Timber Corps with her daughter, Eve. Together they fell, sned and measure up a tree for the war effort. They also meet a veteran 'Lumber Jill' from the 1940s, who expresses her enjoyment of the camaraderie and work ethic of the Corps, despite the hard work. Broadcast on 11 October 2012 at 8pm.
