Hilary Menos

4.9/5 (28566 ratings)

Description:In 1997 Hilary Menos and her family left Camden for a farmhouse in rural Devon. Over the next ten years, with her husband and three young sons, she transformed fifteen scrubby acres into a hundred acre organic farm. They kept Red Devon cattle and Wiltshire Horn sheep, made bacon and ham, grew vegetables. In 2009, with the organic market in decline, they decided to scale back, selling most of the livestock, the farmhouse, and part of the land. In Red Devon this 'blow-in' from 'upcountry' reveals her experiences of moving into a tight-knit rural community, and examines the human and animal costs of the conflict between traditional farming and modern commercial agriculture. She also tells the story of a burgeoning love affair between farmer Grunt Garvey and haulier Jo Tucker, a romance which ends in tragedy. Alongside these two stories, one fictional and one very real, runs a concern for farmers around the world threatened by global forces.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
