'An unsentimental yet lyrical love letter to the land' is how reviewer Linda Burgess describes Tim Saunders new book This Farming Life.
Tim's family has farmed the same piece of land near Fielding for five generations.
His book explores the joys and the harsh realities of farm life, through the seasons.
As well as being a sheep and beef farmer, Tim performs poetry and won the 2018 Mindfood Short Story Competition.
