For those looking for a longer form than Twitter, his first book is great: The Shepherd's Life: Modern Dispatches from an Ancient Landscape (https://www.amazon.com/Shepherds-Life-Dispatches-Ancient-Lan...).

Rebanks also has a new one out last year, but I haven't read it yet: English Pastoral (https://www.amazon.com/English-Pastoral/dp/0241245729). Anyone have opinions?

I've read both and think English Pastoral is marginally better.

Less sheep, more general farming stuff and stronger narrative of old-school farming with his grandfather to modern industrialised then to present where he's doing more regenerative agriculture.

You can get a signed copy from his local Lake District bookshop btw: https://www.samreadbooks.co.uk/product/EnglishPastoral/2244
