The Ferry

Do no cross the Brandywine Bridge. Shadow wraiths will attack you on the other side and there is no way to defeat them. Instead go south.
Go south and then east and you will find Farmor Maggot. Defeat the goblins that are attacking his farm and he will give you a note to give to the ferryman so that he will take you across the river. Farmer Maggot will tell you that you will still need an oar to get across and will promise to lend you his if you get his Jar of Honey back from Ted Sandyman.
Return to the west and speak to Ted Sandyman who is in the long narrow area. He will only give you the Jar of Honey if you bring his a bottle of Shire Juice.
You can find a Bottle of Shire Juice on the east side of the area to the north. Give it to Ted Sandyman and he will tell you that he dropped the Honey just outside of Farmer Maggot's farm.
