“An exquisite love-letter to the goodness of the natural world, and to shepherding family, marriage, and a farm to health and prosperity.” —Nick Offerman, award-winning actor, comedian, and writer

A heartfelt, unvarnished reflection on the power of domestic life.

Helen Rebanks’ beautifully written memoir takes place across a single day on her working farm in the Lake District of England. Weaving past and present, through a journey of self-discovery, the book takes us from the farmhouse table of her grandmother and into the home she now shares with her husband, James, their four kids, and an abundance of animals.

With honesty and grace, Helen shares her life in days—sometimes a wonder and a joy, others a grind to be survived—weaving in stories that read like a well-written pastoral novel. The Farmer’s Wife is a book about the love of life, the nourishing simplicity of everyday work, and sharing stories around a family table full of good food.
