Scenes From A Smallholding
Author: Griffin, Chas
ISBN: 9780091905071
Publisher: RANDOM HOUSE UK
Year first published: 15 May 2005
Pages: 320
Format: Paperback / softback
Not completely devoid of handy hints, but essentially a personal memoir, written for fun, of how Chas Griffin and his family set up and tried to run an organic smallholding, starting from scratch
In 1982 the Griffins left the security of suburbia to grow garlic in West Wales. This is a funny and sometimes touching, warts-and-all account of their first three years: of how they learned lambing and marketing and ploughing and hay-making: and of the dung-sodden joys of milking and the surreal terrors of bee-keeping. Be amused. Be very amused.
Scenes from a Smallholding is by turns challenging, touching, and informative; but above all, it is very funny.
