Life on the Farm: Resilience, family and the realities of a farming life from Harriet Cowan, as seen on Clarkson's Farm

by Harriet Cowan

Harriet Cowan is one of the most recognisable farmers in the country. At only 25, she more than held her own and delighted viewers on Clarkson's Farm by schooling everyone on the realities of farming.

That's because farming is Harriet's way of life, passed down through the from her grandparents, to her parents, and now to her. Farming is more than a way of putting food on the table - it is community, love, and hard work, day in, day out.

In Life on the Farm, Harriet shares just what the farming way of life is, what values she lives by, and what a typical day for a farmer can look like. She delves deep into the challenges and realities Britain's farmers are facing today, and how buying local isn't just a slogan, but a way of life.

In her warm, hilarious, witty style, join Harriet as she shares life on the farm.

Harriet is doing for Female Farmers, what Clarkson has done for Farming. This book is all her own words, encouraging Women into Farming. I've read it now and enjoyed every page - and I'm passing it onto my 16 year old daughter, who is currently studying Agriculture at College and wants to follow in her Grandfather's footsteps...
