Told through the voices of four women at the heart of the project,
Seven Seasons on Stowel Lake Farm is a multi-layered, evocative
exploration of life on a sustainable organic farm that has been at
the forefront of North America's slow living and local eating
movements. Stunning photographs and transporting descriptions of
nature feature alongside mouthwatering yet uncomplicated recipes
and crafting tips. Through a bounty of personal stories of Early
Spring, Late Spring, Summer, High Summer, Autumn, December, and
Deep Winter, the rich life of Stowel Lake Farm comes alive. From
harvest dinners to Thursday work parties, looking after free-range
children to handling the summer hay bailing, planting early seeds
to celebrating the New Year, each experience offers a meaningful
celebration of people working and living together on the land.
Readers are transported to life on the farm while learning some of
the tips, tricks, secrets, and recipes grown from years of work.
Local harvest, slow food recipes include Squash and Sage Risotto,
Wild Spring Nettle Soup, Herb-Encrusted Leg of Lamb, Pavlova with
Roasted Rhubarb Compote, and Fresh Chevre Cheesecake, nestled
alongside key seasonal activities such as maximizing spring
vegetables, saving seeds, making nature tables, and dying eggs.
Suggestions go deeper than simply the practical, however: Seven
Seasons shares emotional lessons from community living and
prioritizing family, including the importance of sharing gratitude,
the importance of walks, and celebrating together. Seven Seasons on
Stowel Lake Farm is more than a book, it's a place: one that
readers can immerse themselves in time and again, through recipes,
storytelling, and lessons. Steeped in insights that celebrate
nourishment-both physical and emotional-this stunning, original
book will inspire readers to cultivate their own rich traditions of
food, family, and community-wherever they live.
