Our Wild Farming Lifeis 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. This is the
inspirational true story of Lynbreck Croft a regenerative Scottish croft rooted in local food
and community and the dreams of two women in search of a new wilder existence. 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 their
journey to becoming farmers as the Guardian wrote recently its clear that nature and the
health of the environment plays a central role in everything they do from planting 17 500
native broadleaf trees for wood pasture to setting aside 22 hectares for rewilding. And 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.
