The Grass is Greener

The Grass is Greener: Life, Love, and Lessons on a French Farm

When two dreamers set out to create a self-sufficient life on a small farm in rural France, they discover that the grass truly can be greener—if you're willing to work for it.

Ben, a mechanic navigating life in a wheelchair, and Tina, a cancer survivor with unshakable determination, take on the challenge of transforming their overgrown, neglected farm into a thriving homestead. Along the way, they face everything from leaking roofs to tangled woods, from solar power experiments to preserving the fruits of their labor.

Told with humour, heart, and an unflinching look at the ups and downs of farm life, The Grass is Greener is a story of resilience, partnership, and finding joy in the everyday. This inspiring memoir celebrates the power of love, the satisfaction of hard work, and the beauty of life lived close to the land.

Perfect for anyone seeking inspiration, laughter, or a deeper connection to the natural world.
