The narrative details the author's transition from a successful medical career in the city to a life devoted to farming after his unexpected retirement. The book explores themes of independence, the value of agricultural knowledge, and the pursuit of a fulfilling rural lifestyle. The opening of the narrative introduces the author reflecting on his life changes and motivations for moving to a farm. He describes the circumstances leading to his departure from medicine, his desire to engage with the land, and the commitment he and his wife, Polly, make to create a flourishing farm. The initial chapters discuss their planning for the farm, the selection of land, and the enthusiasm surrounding their new venture. Not only does the author articulate practical farming strategies and investments, but he also emphasizes the emotional and philosophical aspects of reconnecting with nature and the joy of independence that farming brings.
