FARMER AND AUTHOR

SALLY URWIN

About Sally 

Sally is probably the shortest farmer in England.

She left her city career to live on High House Farm in Northumberland with her husband Steve. Now they have two children, 200 sheep, Mavis the sheep dog, a fat pony and a farm cat.

She helps manage the farm, looks after the sheep, and in her spare time has written two books. 

Her book

Sally's latest book "What the Flock" is available for preorder at  http://ow.ly/vECJ50IVk1V

 It is published on 7 July 2022.

 

Sally's first book "Diary of a Pint-Sized Farmer: A Year of Keeping Sheep, Raising Kids, and Staying Sane" is published in hardback, paperback, audio and kindle. You can buy Sally's book at all good bookstores (and Amazon of course). 

Visit the farm

High House Farm is in Matfen, Northumberland. 

High House Barn is based on our farm and includes a gorgeous glamping site, restaurant and tearoom selling delicious home made dishes, plus a real ale brewery. High House Barn is licensed for weddings and has a beautiful back drop to many ceremonies and receptions.

Sally left the most boring corporate job in the world, to live and work on an isolated farm. From stock sales to lambing sheds, and out in the fields in driving snow and hot summer days, Sally reveals the highs, lows and hard, hard work involved in making a living from the land.
