Our Wild Farming Life: Adventures on a Scottish Highland Croft
'Thinking of becoming a farmer? Read this book first'
The Telegraph 5-star review
-
‘I raced through this beautiful story with mounting awe and excitement. What Lynn and Sandra have achieved on their croft in Scotland is a miracle of rebirth on land that most would have considered beyond hope. Their success is testament to the wisdom of working with nature rather than battling against it and their pragmatism, honesty and
openness to new and old ideas shines through on every page. I hope it inspires legions of new farmers.’- Isabella Tree, author of Wilding
-
‘I defy anyone to be in the presence of Lynn and Sandra and not come away inspired and with a smile.’
- Euan McIlwraith, BBC and TV presenter
-
‘Many of us dream of going “back” to the land. Lynn Cassells and Sandra
Baer have made it happen. In this inspirational, honest and quiet revelatory book, they show how farming is not a lifestyle fantasy, but a way of living, working and eating that is in partnership – with the land, the community, the animals and each other. This is not a step back but the key to all our futures.’- Patrick Barkham, author of Wild Child and journalist with the Guardian
-
'The inspiring story of two courageous women who took the leap and embraced a whole new way of life. Lynn and Sandra, I salute you!'
- Kate Humble, broadcaster and author of Home Cooked'
-
'The road to Lynbreck Croft winds through some of the worst farming country in Britain. On meeting Lynn Cassells and her partner Sandra Baer and seeing the bountiful kitchen garden and the pork, beef and eggs being carefully coaxed out of the barren hillside and the sensitive tree and hedge planting, I was swiftly brought down to earth with a bump. “The girls up the hill” know their stuff and could teach many of us a thing or two…’
- Jamie Blackett, author and journalist for the Telegraph
-
'A ripping good account of the guts, luck and perseverance it takes to create a productive and healthy farm or croft that jumps the rails of our conventional industrial agriculture.'
- Nick Offerman, author and actor
