The Farm depicts the journey of a couple with almost no commercial aspirations and a love for fresh, organic food. This pocket of land holds some ‘outdated values’, and if these were values shared amongst us when approaching topics around farmyard animal welfare, it is possible to minimise the challenges they face in the Anthropocene.
Locality and small-scale agriculture are solutions to the very present issues surrounding climate change and the increasing worries about food security in the UK. In this book you will see a timeless place with no sense of order. A place of compassion and occasional brutality, but never cruelty.
