Tales from Jimmy's Farm - Jimmy Doherty

AS SEEN ON ITV'S NEW WEEKEND FLAGSHIP SHOW 'JIMMY AND SHIVI'S FARMHOUSE BREAKFAST'.

'Jimmy's love of nature is second to none - what a beautiful read' Jamie Oliver

'Running a wildlife park is a complex job. To
do it you need knowledge
that varies from animal biology to how to get
an ancient tractor
running after a harsh frost. If there's a more
diverse job, I'd like to
hear about it. But the massive upside of all
that hard work is simple.
At all times you're embedded in the landscape
and the lives of those
incredible animals which depend on it - a
beautiful natural gift which
you are forever unwrapping.'

Twenty years ago, Jimmy Doherty started a farm for rare breed pigs on
some derelict land in Suffolk. Now a thriving wildlife park, which is
home to many different species of animal, this book chronicles the
journey that Jimmy and his family have found themselves on over the
years.

In Tales From Jimmy's Farm,
Jimmy reveals how he made his childhood dream of having his own
wildlife park a reality - how, starting with a few rare breed pigs, he
would transform a derelict and forgotten Suffolk farm into an A-Z of the
animal world, from anteaters to zebras.

Taking us on a journey
through the seasons - spring lambs to rutting reindeer, sun-loving
meerkats to festive monkeys - Jimmy reveals the ups and downs of a life
immersed in the natural world, and explains how we too, wherever we may
live, can benefit ourselves and the planet by embracing the remarkable
animals around us.
