THE FARM COMMUNITY

Emma & Tom Lane Hardie Grant Books

Buying and moving to a small farm, the authors swapped fast-paced jobs and big-city lives for a rural environment, a simpler life and a greater connection with community. Based on their principles of ‘grow, cook, share, connect’, they created The Farm at

Byron Bay, which is principally a working farm and a community of small businesses, including a restaurant. The authors’ story, and stories of people in their community, are interspersed with illustrations. Tips for living more sustainably, in urban or rural environments, are also included, as are step-by-step projects and recipes.
