Forty Farms | Conversations About Change in The Landscapes of Cumbria

£29.90

By Amy Bateman

Description

In 2020, I set out on a 12-month project to tell the story of Forty Farms, each one located somewhere in Cumbria. From Lake District hill farms to the Solway marshes, from commons sheep grazers to dairy ice cream makers, from sixth generation farming families to eager newcomers, each aspect of Cumbrian farming is, I hope, represented by these Forty Farms.

The idea for Forty Farms was devised by publisher and Lake District enthusiast, David Felton of Inspired by Lakeland. He approached me about creating the book together.

The project captures the widest experiences of farming in a region that is known, recognised and loved internationally. Coming from a farming background myself, I think I’m in a unique position to have honest conversations with those in the frontline of change and also to capture the character and landscape on my camera too. Working with David has enabled me to bring the whole concept of Forty Farms to life.
