In this beautifully illustrated book, Ben Ashby, editor-in-chief of Folk Magazine, reflects on the authenticity and charm of life on the farm. Having moved from New York City to Kentucky several years ago, he shares his thoughts on adapting to small-town life, living on a farm, being self-sufficient, and learning to celebrate the slow life.

For each season, Ben takes us to the most inspiring country houses and pays tribute to the architecture and interiors of these unique spaces, as well as to the lifestyle and sense of community that goes along with rural life. Discover seasonal recipes, the best countryside pastimes, and much, much more.
