English Pastoral by James Rebanks
An Inheritance
A multi-generational memoir of a Lake District farm that traces the shift from traditional mixed husbandry to industrialized agriculture and its damage to soil, wildlife, and rural communities, before charting a hard-earned return to regenerative practices. Through the wisdom of elders, the pressures of modern markets, and the narrator’s own experiments in hedgerows, meadows, and livestock, it explores how stewardship, resilience, and careful, place-based knowledge can restore a more biodiverse and economically viable countryside.
