IN STOCKFarm to Fork
Providing a seasonal tour of a traditional farming year, passionate beef farmer Joe Stanley seeks to inform the reader about the journey their food takes before it gets to the plate, revealing the reality of life for a modern British lowland farmer.
Red Rag To A Bull
A humorous and thought-provoking story seen through the eyes of a landowner, a modern-day Poldark, trying to keep the family estate going in an ever-changing world. Jamie’s intelligent and easy-to-read narrative flows through the farming challenges of the Scottish independence referendum, and the hunting ban, the result is an enlightened review of the challenges threatening a vulnerable way of life and an emerging philosophy about the directions Scotland, farming and the countryside might take in the brave new world of Brexit.
