If you like this sort of histotainment BBC used to make good series like Tudor Monastery (1500s) https://youtu.be/0-uqQknglio or their original 'Tales of the Green Valley' (1620) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6LJQOAaGj2magtWkqqRQ... both where historians attempt to farm as they did in the period, capturing wild yeast from apple trees to make bread and ale which Tudors lived off of
On a related tangent, I found the book Against the Grain, by James C Scott, to be very interesting. In it he discusses how farming existed long before cities, and how certain grain crops contributed to (and were leveraged for) the emergence of city states.
There are several more of these! Ruth, Peter, and (usually) Alex are so amazingly good at this.
Random fact: Ruth Goodman's demonstrations of how laundry was washed through the ages and why those methods worked has changed how I do my own laundry. It turns out the washing machine isn't nearly as effective as a half-hearted manual wash with a laundry plunger, while causing substantially more wear.
Funny, watching those shows had me frequently thinking "yeah, I could do that... seems ok" (I have a farming background) except for the laundry stuff :)
Well, the laundry stuff and all the particulate garbage they were breathing from the wood and coal fires.
