Cricket makes a deal to sell Bill's produce to a major grocery chain.
Plot[]
Bill, Cricket and Tilly head down to the farmer's market to open up their very own Green Family Farms to the public. Cricket tries to add "pizzazz" to their fruits and veggies by making outlandish claims. Bill reprimands Cricket by telling them that they need to be honest with their products. They are suddenly approached by Chip Whistler, the manager of Wholesome Foods, who is impressed with Green Family Farms and wants to buy a shipment from them due to his other shipment deal not going through. However, Bill can only fill out half the order and respectfully declines. Cricket cannot fathom why Bill would turn down the offer when they would have gotten paid, so he goes behind his back and promises Chip that they can fulfill the order with Tilly reluctantly going along with Cricket's charade.
Realizing that they do not actually have enough fruit and veggies, Cricket and Tilly resolve to simply take things from around the garage and paint them to look like fruits and veggies. Tilly then distracts Bill by having him take her to see a balloonist, while Cricket gives all the fruits and veggies to Chip who pays him handsomely. Unable to pay the balloonist, Bill gives him an apple and he loves it. When he leads other intrigued people to his stand, he is horrified by the missing produce. Cricket and Tilly explain their plan and Bill is furious with them and knocks some sense into Cricket ("What do you think will happen when people eat your fake food!?" / "Uh, gee dad, I don't know. You really think ten steps ahead." / "At most that's like two!"). Bill then proceeds to warn Cricket if the customers eat the fake food, they will turn against them and ruin their reputation, and they won't be able to sell their vegetables again. Cricket realizes his mistake and vows to make things right.
The family races to Wholesome Foods, where Chip catches Bill and has him give a speech to the gathered crowd about farming. Cricket and Tilly manage to locate every fake piece of produce, but the former is forced to use all of his cash he earned from Chip to pay for it. Cricket apologizes for his actions, while Bill admits that he does like the pizzazz he adds to their advertising.
Cricket then gets the idea to sell the fake produce to customers who want to give the impression that they are eating healthy which ends up working. Chip, who is unaware of the change, decides to takes a bite of the fake produce; Cricket sees this and tries to warn him it's fake, but he disobeys him and bites it, and chips his tooth, vowing revenge against the Green family just like Bill predicted. Saxon, or rather Tilly, adds "Now his name fits his mouth!" as the Greens laugh it off.
