About this listen
As seen on BBC 2's hit TV show This Farming Life.
Emma Gray was just 23 when she moved to an isolated farm in Northumberland, becoming Britain's youngest solo shepherdess. In the seasons that followed, Emma fell in love with its rolling fields, sycamore trees and sturdy farmhouse, where she tended her sheep and trained her dogs - and even found romance along the way.
But when Emma finds herself suddenly alone again, heartbroken, mourning the loss of loved ones and recovering from a serious accident, she can't help but wonder if her isolated existence is still such a sensible idea. Even if she could recover, how could she make a proper living on Fallowlees Farm?
In her heart-warming new book, Emma reveals how she picks herself up from these setbacks to become one of the country's most successful trainers of Border Collies and how she - much to her surprise - finds true love and lasting happiness where she least expects it.
Written with warmth and humour, My Farming Life is testament to the healing power of nature and a joy for anyone who's ever dreamed of living closer to it.

My favourite book on Audible so far..!
I listened to Emma’s first book and absolutely loved it. Her second book is just as good as the first. Pure love for farming and her working dogs, there’s nothing not to love about this book. I felt her emotions through the tough times and her successes and that’s powerful for a book to be able to do that. The chapter about Bill had me in tears while I was listening to this whilst putting up a sheep fence at home with my own working dogs around me. Emma has achieved some incredible things in farming and I came away very inspired. Definitely recommend both books if you’re interested in farming and even if you’re not. It will open your eyes to how tough the farming industry can be but also the deep care, compassion and commitment farmers have for their land, livestock and working dogs. If you put in the hard work and dedication, you’ll get the reward eventually and that is essentially what Emma and Ewan have done. What an amazing life they’ve created - Hats off to them! Very well written! I hope a third book is written in the future!
