Balancing life as a family-business entrepreneur, here's how one
woman left a corporate career to become a farmer. Even though her
feet don't quite reach the tractor pedals, this
city-girl-turned-shepherd found happiness and love with one
husband, two kids, grumpy rams, ewes and lambs, Mavis the Sheepdog,
and a very fat pony. Ever dream of reinventing yourself and
starting over? Sally Urwin did and this is her story--inspiring,
touching, and often very, very funny. Once employed to market the
insolvency services of a large accounting firm, now Sally and her
husband, Steve, run High House Farm in Northumbria. Built around
1840, High House is a working farm where the whole family
(including two children) pitches in. In a fresh and funny voice all
her own, Sally tells her story of the shepherding life--which at
High House also includes the sideline businesses of a tearoom,
winery, and a barn for weddings. Diary of a Pint-Sized Farmer
reveals the highs and lows of the shepherding life and the hard
work in making a living from the land. Filled with grit and humor,
eccentric animals and local characters, this is the perfect book
for anyone who has ever wondered what it's like to pack up and find
a new life on the other side of the fence.
