Farm is the thirteenth episode of the fifth series of Alphablocks. It is the 104th episode in the series overall.
Synopsis[]
N needs animals for the Alphablocks' farm. Can the singing vowels help him find them?
Plot[]
It was a wonderful day at a farm and A falls down from the sky. Then, A, E, I, O, and U sing a parody of Old MacDonald Had A Farm until N said to them that there were no animals in the farm! A, E, I, O, and U still try to make the animals but E yells out, "Enter, please! J and T!" J and T appear OUT of the barn.
j-e-t, JET! A jet appears. A cow came out of the jet. The cow puts on his own starry sunglasses and dances with disco style. Now they need the next animal. Z and P appear.
z-i-p, ZIP! A zipper appears and chickens appear out of the zipper. The chickens do a rap led by I along with DJ turntables. Now they need the next animal after the cow and the chickens. The cow uses his bubble wand and blows lots of bubbles. N sees the bubbles and is not bad at all because he needs the next animal. P returns with a duplicate of herself.
p-o-p, POP! A sheep popped out of the bubble and lands on N. N really loves the next animal to be a sheep. The sheep began playing the piano and singing in a spotlight like an opera singer until an offscreen crowd cheered wildly with A, E, I, O, and U clapping and throwing flowers at the sheep. They still need one more animal left to go! M and D appear.
m-u-d, MUD! Mud appears. Soon, bubbles appear in the mud and out of the mud comes the last animal, a pig. That's the last animal on the farm! Now the farm has all the animals with the Alphablocks!

Trivia[]
- Song: "In Alphaland There Was A Farm"
- B, C, F, G, H, K, L, Q, R, S, V, W, X, and Y are absent in this episode.
- D, J, M, and T only say their sound.
- No words are made with A and N.
- This is the first series 5 episode where Z speaks.
- This episode aired on the same day as Bouncy Castle, and 1 year after Fun with Colours.
- This episode is a reference to the nursery rhyme "Old MacDonald Had a Farm".
- The first three farm animals are the same three animals with "animal sound" Do Blocks in Wonderblocks: Cow (Moo), Chicken (Cluck), and Sheep (Baa). The pig is the only one without this distinction.
- Running gag: Whenever U is about to say his name in the song he keeps getting cut off by N and the cow, much to his dismay.
Error[]
- In one scene, O is seen singing words despite his usual inability to make sounds that his letter doesn't spell.
