Have you ever wondered if plants could help improve your allergy symptoms? Have you studied foraging, but you’re looking to learn more about edible and medicinal plants? Do you wish you had a better understanding of herbalism and what it can do for you? Herbalism is one of the oldest forms of medicine in the world. It is what our modern medicine is built upon, yet more people are afraid of it. While one should not completely erase modern medicine from their lives, because it does serve a purpose, it is possible to take care of some minor problems through the use of herbs.

Reese Witherspoon’s grandmother Dorothea always said a combination of beauty and strength made Southern women “whiskey in a teacup”. We may be delicate and ornamental on the outside, she said, but inside, we’re strong and fiery. Reese’s Southern heritage informs her whole life, and she loves sharing the joys of Southern living with practically everyone she meets. She takes the South wherever she goes with bluegrass, big holiday parties, and plenty of Dorothea’s fried chicken.

Jann Arden moved in to a house just across the way from her parents in rural Alberta to be close to them but also so they could be her refuge from the demands of the music business and a performing career. Funny how time works. Since her dad died in 2015, Jann cooks for her mom five or six times a week. Her mom finds comfort in her daughter's kitchen, not just in the delicious food but also just sitting with her as she cooks. And Jann finds some peace in caring for her mom, even as her mom slowly becomes a stranger.

In April 2009, First Lady Michelle Obama planted a kitchen garden on the White House's South Lawn. It is a garden with roots in the American past, stretching back to George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, but it is also a garden very much designed for America's future.

Publisher's Summary
From New York style icon and fashion insider Amanda Brooks, a charming and inspiring meditation on life in her newly adopted home, a farm in the English countryside.
In search of a quieter, simpler life away from the hustle of the city, style icon and longtime New Yorker Amanda Brooks moved with her family in 2012 from New York City to her husband's farm in England. Originally intended to be a yearlong creative sabbatical, Brooks's relocation became permanent as she discovered newfound personal and professional freedom, told here through a year's changing seasons. Creatively inspiring, warm and witty, and brimming with delicious recipes and entertaining how-tos, Farm from Home is a chronicle of the joys and challenges of a more focused way of living.
For anyone who has longed for an escape from their hectic schedule, whether for a week, a year, or a lifetime, Brooks shares the unexpected satisfaction of slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and making the most of each day.
Includes a Bonus PDF with recipes
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Critic Reviews
“Personal stories, family recipes, and pictures of her bumper rosebushes, gleaming horses, and floral-wallpapered cottage show a rural life that’s far dreamier than the New York fashion scene [Brooks] left behind six years ago.” (Martha Stewart Living)
"A treat and an inspiration." (Laura Baily, Vogue.co.uk)
“Farm from Home will transport you to a pastoral dreamscape that is Amanda’s real life at Fairgreen Farm. The elegant simplicity of this book is an escape and an antidote to the pressures of our modern age. Amanda’s world is beautiful,wholesome, and hearty - and her food is delicious!” (Jessica Seinfeld, author of Food Swings)

Overall I enjoy this for light entertainment
Not all that well written. Who was her editor who allowed "inevitably" and "truth be told" to be repeated so many times? However I appreciate some of her insights into a modern life in the country. Her descriptions show she pays attention to nature, something so few modern writers do. And then I like her comments on sharing a life working from home with her husband, for example, which are especially relevant today. I enjoy dipping into this book or audio every once in a while when I need some inspiration, as she seems like someone who always has a project going and an interest in life, and she has a knack for beautiful things arranged beautifully. (As an aside I do wish she would keep politics off her instagram page. Why are politics being pushed into every arena, the arts, fashion, etc. I am very much behind the old idea of keeping politics and religion away from the "dinner table" - I need a break, politics ruin everything!)
PS - A day after submitting my audio book review, I saw a political post of hers was fact-checked and deleted from her instagram account because it was false. Like I said I do wish she would keep her (false) politics off instagram, it is detrimental to her "brand". Thankfully her politics don't really figure in this book!
