Dates and times
A great story of re-invention as two
women give up their day jobs to run a farm in the Scottish Highlands.
Our Wild Farming Life is what happens when you follow your dreams of living on the land; a story of how two people became farmers – and how they learned to make a living from it, their way.
Lynn and Sandra left their friends, family and jobs
in England to travel north to Scotland to find a small piece of land they could
call their own. They had no money, no plan and no experience in farming. They
had in mind keeping a few chickens, a kitchen garden and renting out some
camping space, but instead, they fell in love with Lynbreck Croft – 150 acres
of wild Scottish Highlands filled with opportunity and beauty, shrouded by the
Cairngorms mountains.
In Our Wild
Farming Life, Lynn and Sandra recount their experiences as they
rebuild their new home and work out what kind of farmers they want to be. They
learn how to work with Highland cattle, become part of the crofting community
and begin to truly understand how they can farm in harmony with nature to
produce wonderful food for themselves and the people around them. Through
efforts like these, Lynn and Sandra have been able to combine regenerative
farming practices with old crofting traditions to keep their own personal
values intact.
