Ever dream of packing up and escaping to a simpler life on the land,

just the Cornish landscape and a few cows and goats rising up to
greet you each day? When Rosanne and her husband left city life for
the Cornwall idyll they knew little of farming, the seasons and
milking; but over time they found their way, rising to each new
challenge and embracing all that the land gave them.
 Growing Goats and Girls lovingly and invitingly charts the rural,
hardworking and joyfully haphazard lives of Rosanne and her
husband as they escape London to live off the land.

In their tumbled-down farmhouse in Cornwall, they learn to rear

goats, chickens, cows, bees - and two children - get to grips with
unruly machinery and cantankerous farmers, and chart the changing
seasons in glorious countryside over thirty years.

Heart-warming and uplifting in its celebration of the simple things,

this earthy portrait of life on the land taps into our collective
imagination. After all, who hasn't dreamed of new beginnings,
escaping into nature and living more simply.

Growing Goats and Girls reminds us to appreciate the fleeting,

timeless moments of beauty, nature and the simple comforts of
family life.
