Embrace Simplicity: Your Guide to Modern Homesteading Gillian Swinton is on a mission: to live a self-sufficient life, connected to the land and in tune with the seasons. With her partner Hamish, a menagerie of animals (two dogs, a cat, a few sheep, some bees, and a lot of chooks!), they’re building community and embracing a life lived with joy. On their 2.7-hectare property in Central Otago’s heartland, Gillian and Hamish have created a lifestyle reminiscent of simpler times. In this beautifully illustrated guide, Gillian shares her hard-won wisdom on becoming a modern-day homesteader. Whether you’re caring for livestock on a lifestyle block or nurturing an inner-city garden (or even just a planter box!), you’ll find inspiration and practical advice.
