Wild Green Yonder: Ten Seasons Volunteering on New Zealand’s Organic Farms Jamieson, Philippa City girl Jamieson quit her cosy job in Dunedin to travel around New Zealand on the WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms) scheme. Over two-and-a-half years she volunteered for 40 locations ranging from market gardens, livestock farms, communes. She meets an eclectic range of characters including a farmer who built his own coffin (with a limerick for an epitaph), a goat called Thelma, Green Party co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons. This book showcases New Zealanders who are committed to producing healthy food without toxins, saving heirloom crop varieties, practicing self-sufficiency and improving the soil. Inspiration for anyone looking for a positive approach to an alternative lifestyle. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
