Rosamund Young [with a foreword by Alan Bennett]
Summary
The Youngs are organic farmers and have been since 1953. They hadn't heard the term Organic back then, but simply made a conscious decision to resist the urgings of the Men from the ministry to modernise. At Kite's Nest Farm in Worcestershire the cows, sheep, hens and pigs all roam free. The book is based on forty years of Rosamund Young's close observation of the herd. Through Young's gentle, warm commentary we learn that cows love, play games, bond and form life-long friendships. They grieve, hold grudges, have preferences and can be vain. It's a secret world because so many modern farming practices leave no room for the natural behaviour celebrated in Young's wonderful book. It will make you smile and wonder
