1 - 5: Episode 5

The volunteers struggle to carry on without their Amish guides, whose shock departure highlights the cracks within the community. With 40 acres and 25 livestock to manage, each member has a different view on getting the work done, but as frictions mount over the alcohol and household chores, a shock discovery threatens the biggest crop of the season - potato blight. With only weeks until the experiment ends, will this new crisis be the making of them or the undoing?
