Turnbull, Lorraine: - Lorraine Turnbull was born in Glasgow where she lived until 2015 when she and her family moved to a run-down bungalow and smallholding with an Agricultural Occupancy Condition on it in Cornwall. She retrained as a horticultural tutor and also worked as a Skills Co-ordinator for The Rural Business School. To turn her failing smallholding around she began commercial cider making in 2011 and until recently ran a profitable small craft cider business. In 2014 she was recognised for her contribution to sustainable living by winning the Cornwall Sustainability Awards Best Individual category. She has previously written occasional articles for Country Smallholding and Smallholder magazines and after successfully removing the Agricultural Occupancy Condition on her home she relocated to a smallholding in France. She is the author of The Sustainable Smallholders Handbook (2019) and How to Live the Good Life in France (2020). She is currently completing her third book: a Cornish smallholding memoir.
