Farmer Grover
From Muppet Wiki
Farmer Grover is Grover's farmyard alter ego. He only made two appearances on Sesame Street -- and was not a presence on the show in the way that Super Grover and Marshal Grover are -- but he has been a regular subject for books and other spin-off merchandise.
| Picture | Theme | Earliest Known Appearance | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Fire | Episode 0348 | Kermit smells smoke. An Anything Muppet girl tells him that there's a fire "over there", and Kermit screams for the fireman. Grover comes along wearing a white coat and a stethoscope; then carrying a pitchfork, and talking about his cows, chickens and the barn. Kermit reminds him that a fireman puts out fires. When Grover finally arrives with a hose, they discover that the fire is coming from the girl toasting marshmallows over a small campfire. |
 | Horse and cart | Episode 0666 | Kermit and Fred the Wonder Horse teach Farmer Grover how to put a horse and cart together. |
