The Land That Made Us by Christine Gregory

The Land That Made Us by Christine Gregory

The Land That Made Us, edited by Christine Gregory and Sheila Hine, is the story of eighty years of farming in the South West Peak District. It is told through the words of local farmers and land managers, many of whom have lived and farmed in this often challenging landscape for generations.

'[An] excellent history of modern farming – the best I have come across precisely because the words are those of the farmers themselves and their families, who have lived through and are still living through its transformation'

from the Foreword by Colin Tudge, co-founder of the Oxford Real Farming Conference and the College for Real Farming and Food Culture

The Farming Life Centre provides health, well-being and business information and support to the farming and rural community of the Derbyshire and Staffordshire Peak District.

Her family on her mother’s side spans 400 years of farming history, and her father’s family were gamekeepers and farm labourers. Sheila Hine is a dairy farmer in the South-West Peak and an oral historian and photographer. She has published ten books on local history.
