Resumen del Editor

"An exquisite love-letter to the goodness of the natural world, and to shepherding family, marriage, and a farm to health and prosperity." —Nick Offerman, award-winning actor, comedian, and writer

A heartfelt, unvarnished reflection on the power of domestic life.

Helen Rebanks' beautifully written memoir takes place across a single day on her working farm in the Lake District of England. Weaving past and present, through a journey of self-discovery, the book takes us from the farmhouse table of her grandmother and into the home she now shares with her husband, James, their four kids, and an abundance of animals.

With honesty and grace, Helen shares her life in days—sometimes a wonder and a joy, others a grind to be survived—weaving in stories that unfolds like a well-written pastoral novel. The Farmer's Wife is a book about the love of life, the nourishing simplicity of everyday work, and sharing stories around a family table full of good food.

Full of gentle wisdom, this book is an honest portrait of rural life and an authentic exploration of both the hard work and reward of keeping a home and raising a family—even though the job is often thankless and invisible.

Also included are simple recipes and dozens of guilt-free "Survival Mode" meal ideas.

About Helen and Her Farm:

Along with her husband, James Rebanks (author of The Shepherd’s Life), Helen and her family work as a tight-knit team. Their farm has become globally important through their nature-friendly farming practices and has been a retreat for many, including actor and comedian Nick Offerman. The Rebanks host events regularly at the farm to share their expertise and encourage others to farm sustainably.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

What a pair and partner to The Shepherd’s Life!

This woman does the best job I can remember reading of detailing the endlessness of a mother’s tasks. She also vividly shows the roots of bickering that can divide a couple. On the other hand, she talks about wonderful food she makes, about sustainable farming and the importance of great food for our health ( and spirits). I

So fulfilling


Such a well told story of a life lived. Her perspective of looking back at herself, her husband, her children, her parents, her extended family, her community and how they are all so intertwined. The joy and pain of really living a full and engaged life. Thank you for sharing so many details of your life!

A serendipitous find

I loved this book, and it was a serendipitous find for me. Helen, if you should read this, there’s a neat story about how I found your book. A friend sent me a photo of my own book, “Following the Echoes,” on the shelf of a bookshop in Canada. It was in between Alan Rickman’s diary and your book. I took notice of the title “The Farmer’s Wife,” and it immediately piqued my interest. And then I noticed the name Rebanks. I absolutely loved your husband’s book, and when I realized that, indeed, his wife had written one too, I immediately got it on Audible. And, already from the opening lines, I knew I would love it — as I did. I have no kids and no farm, but I live in a rural farming area in Norway, and your story really resonated with me. Thank you for writing a gorgeous book! Cheers from Claudia.

Beautiful countryside lots of whining and complaining

I loved the descriptions of her land, animals, children, her love of all that, and cooking. But, a lot of whining, complaining, self made trouble.

Ups , downs and and farmer's commraderie

I enjoyed hearing about the everyday struggles, lifestyle and happy events that are a part of farmer wife's life. Sometimes her struggles early as a wife and mother seemed borderline whiney, but she was stronger as she became more confident and a farmer's wife and mother. I like how she finally found a way to express her creativity.

Informative & Entertaining

I gained a renewed appreciation for farmers and farming. Current culture doesn’t allow for understanding the critical importance of the food we put in our bodies every day. Agribusiness has cut us off from the most important thing we can do for good health. Those interested in the most basic source of energy, satisfaction and health will value the message of The Farmer’s Wife.

Real story of a farming mother.

The story itself was excellent and educational. The descriptions were riveting. I had trouble shifting when she went back and forth in time.
