Immerse yourself in this delightful memoir about a decade of life on a small Australian farm. A perfect book for tree changers and anyone who dreams of rural life.
Funny, moving, and engrossing, you'll be transported to a world where one family tries to keep it all together as they juggle a farmyard full of animals, thousands of tourists in the garden, a hundred backpackers in the house, millions of bees in the air, and their commitment to the environment and each other.

Buzzing with good humour, moving moments, and interesting stories, discover more about the 'simple life' and enjoy a good laugh from this well-reviewed memoir in which author Anna Featherstone lays bare what it's like to follow your dreams and to find success, failure, and finally understanding along the way.

An added bonus at the end: delightful farmhouse recipes and tips for creating your own organic lip and skin balms.

Authors Andrew and Anna have spent more than a decade farming They’ve produced and sold everything from organic turmeric to wild hibiscus, goats’ milk soap to beeswax balms, miniature Galloway cattle through to honey from native and Italian bees. They’ve also farmed people, their successful agritourism business winning state and national awards. But awards don’t really mean anything, that’s because the prize for many farmers is a life full of challenge, fulfilment and memories; a life connected to and infused by the power of nature.
