As seen on the BBC's This Farming Life, this story follows two individuals who pursued their dreams of living off the land. Lynn and Sandra left behind their lives in England to seek a small piece of land in Scotland, embarking on their farming journey with no money, plan, or experience. Initially envisioning a few chickens and a kitchen garden, they discovered Lynbreck Croft—150 acres of stunning Scottish Highlands, rich with potential and beauty, nestled by the Cairngorms mountains. This true tale chronicles their transformation into farmers and their commitment to building a regenerative Scottish croft focused on local food and community. Lynn and Sandra share their journey of rebuilding their new home and defining their farming identity. They learn to work with Highland cattle, engage with the crofting community, and discover how to farm in harmony with nature to produce exceptional food. As highlighted by the Guardian, their journey emphasizes the importance of nature and environmental health in their practices, from planting 17,500 native broadleaf trees for wood pasture to dedicating 22 hectares to rewilding. Through these initiatives, they blend regenerative farming methods with traditional crofting values, ensuring their personal beliefs remain at the forefront of their endeavors.
