书籍简介

欢迎来到杰里米的农场。这是一个田园诗般的地方，有着科茨沃尔德的风景，繁华的树篱，林地和天然泉水。杰里米一直有当农民的想法。但是，当他在世界各地开着汽车玩得不亦乐乎的时候，似乎很明显，实际上，你知道的，耕作的事还是得留给别人来做。

然后有一天，他决定自己做农活。

毕竟，这能有多难？

嗯......。

面对令人窒息的繁文缛节、捉摸不透的天气、当地人的反对、全球大流行病以及他自己对如何 "做农活 "的坦率无知，杰里米很快意识到，要扭转农场的局面，需要的不仅仅是购买一台大型拖拉机。

幸运的是，有一个庞大且（大部分）自愿的团队提供帮助，包括女友丽莎、拖拉机司机凯莱布、开朗的查理、牧羊人艾伦和他的安全主管兼干石墙工杰拉尔德。在他们之间，他们热情地种植庄稼，饲养牲畜和母鸡，饲养蜜蜂，将泉水装瓶并开设农场商店。但利润仍然飘忽不定。

然而，虽然农场被称为Diddly Squat是有原因的，但杰里米很快就开始明白，对他来说，它的价值比英镑、先令和便士还要大。

Welcome to Jeremy's farm. It's an idyllic spot, offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows, woodlands and natural springs. Jeremy always liked the idea being a farmer. But, while he was barrelling around the world having more fun with cars than was entirely reasonable, it seemed obvious that the actual, you know, farming was much better left to someone else

Then one day he decided he would do the farming himself.

After all, how hard could it be?

Well . . .

Faced with suffocating red tape, biblical weather, local objections, a global pandemic and his own frankly staggering ignorance of how to 'do farming', Jeremy soon realises that turning the farm around is going to take more than splashing out on a massive tractor.

Fortunately, there's help at hand from a large and (mostly) willing team, including girlfriend Lisa, Kaleb the Tractor Driver, Cheerful Charlie, Ellen the Shepherd and Gerald, his Head of Security and Dry Stone Waller. Between them they enthusiastically cultivate crops, rear livestock and hens, keep bees, bottle spring water and open a farm shop. But profits remain elusive.

And yet while the farm may be called Diddly Squat for good reason, Jeremy soon begins to understand that it's worth a whole lot more to him than pounds, shillings and pence .
