Chief Shepherdess
Lessons in Life, Love and Farming
By Zoe Colville | Publisher: Transworld
About the book
'The shepherdess whose flock you definitely need to follow' - Hello!
'A new breed of shepherdess blazing a trail across social media, challenging outdated ideas about the job and capturing the public's imagination along the way' - Daily Mail
Zoë Colville left her life as a hairdresser in a fancy London salon for the rolling hills and hard graft of life on a Kent farm. One where the only use for a hairdryer is warming new-born lambs; where the cycle of life on a farm gives new meaning and purpose, and where nature is both a strict teacher and a source of ultimate satisfaction.
In this memoir, Zoë brings her trademark hilarious, heartfelt voice to tell readers all about her transformation from hairdresser to farmer, and the lessons she learned along the way, from mental health, social media and identity to surviving as an entrepreneur in a shifting economy. And through those lessons - in love, loss, and lambing - discovering something even more important: that it's always the right time to take a bold step and try something new.
