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.

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 . . .

农场生活相较剧集要更丰富与多层次,和观看剧集的体验一样轻松愉快,但也有不少更深入的政治、政策讨论,有自己更多生态学上的行为动机解释(the serengeti rules),有许多更为真诚的作为farmer的快乐和烦恼——比如脱欧后更难买到的种子,糟糕的天气与房屋建设也让英国更加潮湿。但这份快乐对他而言是难以取代的,如他所说,这不是结束,期待下一季。

猩猩的种田随笔,比剧集里的内容多了许多阴阳和讽刺。由于缺乏对英国社会环境的了解,讽刺内容里至少一半的人名不认识,这本书的乐趣骤减。
