The book is the foundation to my pursuit of wanting to farm. From Nkhatabay, to the UK, to Mchinji, this book gave me the sense of urgency to start now than ever before. Macadmia farming isn’t only for the money but for the persistence and the life long lessons of patience, grit, and growing something from the ground up for longevity.
The ‘brain nut’ that I didn’t know I’d be so passionate about from a young age, gave me a sense of direction and perspective to look outside and do something different. That business degree really came handy :)
