Our Wild Farming Life

More about the book

As featured on BBC's This Farming Life, this is the inspiring journey of Lynbreck Croft, a regenerative Scottish farm founded on local food, community, and the aspirations of two women. Lynn and Sandra left their lives in England to seek a piece of land in Scotland, initially envisioning a few chickens and a kitchen garden. Instead, they discovered Lynbreck Croft—150 acres of breathtaking beauty in the Highlands, surrounded by the Cairngorms. With no money, plan, or farming experience, they began their adventure. In their narrative, they share the challenges and triumphs of defining their identity as farmers, learning to work with Highland cattle, integrating into the crofting community, and embracing sustainable farming practices that honor nature. As noted by The Guardian, their journey emphasizes the importance of environmental health in their farming methods. By merging regenerative practices with traditional crofting values, Lynn and Sandra have crafted a lifestyle that reflects their principles. This story illustrates the fulfillment that comes from pursuing a dream of land stewardship and highlights their evolution into successful farmers who thrive on their own terms.
