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

Wonderful book ..

I bought the hard back and thoroughly enjoyed Amanda and her lovely family find their way to their new life in the Cotswolds
I love sitting by the fire flicking through the book and looking at her gorgeous pictures
So when I downloaded the audio version
I can’t tell you how much in love I am with farm to home .
It’s completely enchanting,
I adore the way she speaks about her family and husband and how honest she is about aspects of reimagining how to live together on a farm
I love her structure and it the most common sense approach with her Devine love for animals and plants and food has resonated with me
But when she speaks about her animals and pets that I know we are kindred spirits
Her days out in Oxford have me wanting to make up that I’m writing a book just to experience the library she speaks so eloquently about
I love her description of riding clothes Harris tweed ,the children schools the first hard frost , gingy giving you the guilts re walks , making the most of sunlight in winter . I really could go on and on
I identify in so many ways
You are a wonderful person and have given me a beautiful gift of you’re book
